James and Paul’s 24 Hour Darts Marathon in aid of 8:56 Foundation

James Langley is raising money for 8:56 Foundation

24 Hour Darts Marathon · 31 January 2026

The 8:56 Foundation is a Men’s Mental Health non profit organisation based in King’s Lynn, they aim to raise awareness, increase the profile of support and reduce the stigma associated with mental health in Norfolk. The foundation is run by volunteers, set up after losing local business man Lee Calton to suicide in April 2021. Lee was 37, very successful, was a great friend to all, with a huge smile he was very kind and generous and loved to do things for charities including running the London marathon three times. Norfolk’s suicide rate is above the national average, the 8:56 want to change this! By using sport as an aid, we want to encourage men to talk and reduce the risk of loneliness and isolation. The 8:56 Foundation Wellbeing Pathway is designed to help Men's Mental Health and wellbeing through Men’s Time Sports and Fishing Sessions, Our Peer Support Group, Talking Therapy and Wellness Football

Story

Help Us Make a Difference for Men’s Mental Health 💙

Thank you for visiting our JustGiving page.

On Saturday, 31st January 2026, we’re taking on an incredible challenge — a 24-hour darts marathon at Weeting Bowls Club, all in support of the inspiring 8:56 Foundation.

Both of us know what it’s like to struggle with mental health. We’ve been to that dark place — but thanks to support, understanding, and time, we’ve found our way back. Now, we want to give something back — to help others find hope, connection, and strength when they need it most.

The 8:56 Foundation is a local charity doing vital work for men’s mental health and wellbeing. Through sport, peer support, and talking therapies, they’re helping men open up, break the stigma, and realise that it’s okay not to be okay. No one should have to face their battles alone.

Every donation, no matter the size, helps the 8:56 Foundation continue their life-changing work. O give an example for every £30.00 raised this will support a talking therapy session for one person.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast, and totally secure. Your details are safe, and every penny goes directly to the charity — helping them reach more men who need support.

Together, we can throw for change, one dart at a time.

Thank you for your support 💙
