William Burt Social Club Charity of the Year Fundraiser: 8:56 Foundation

William Burt Social Club is raising money for 8:56 Foundation

Walking Football Tournament · 1 August 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
