This year, our Charity Dinner looks to raise the vital funds needed to restart our Men’s Mental Health provision here at the stadium. In 2024, men accounted for 3 in every 4 people who died by suicide, with suicide identified as one of the leading causes of death amongst men under 50. 67% of men aged 40-54 and 43% of men aged 40-54 who died by suicide has been in contact with health or partner agencies or primary care services it the three months before their death.
