Events

8:56 Foundation-hosted events bring people together from all walks of life. We provide a friendly and safe environment with the aim of improving mental health & reducing the risk of loneliness & isolation. Please remember our wellbeing socials are not a therapy session, but an opportunity to make social connections.
TEAM 856 has been set up to encourage people of all genders to be active and become part of a running community with purpose.
 
Help support the 8:56 Foundation by raising funds and awareness with events in West Norfolk and beyond. Join our Team today!
8:56 MEN’S TIME – Bringing men together through sport to improve their mental health & reduce the risk of loneliness & isolation. A range of informal sports and activities are on offer. Past events have included table tennis, fishing, escape rooms, badminton and pool.
 
Reserve your place online. Please note Men’s Time is strictly for men over the age of 18.
