About X-4RCE CIC

X-4RCE was born from lived experience. Founded by Wade Wilson—community coach, mentor, and mental health advocate, the organisation was created from a deep understanding of what it feels like to carry heavy things in silence. After navigating personal challenges and seeing too many men around him struggling alone, Wade realised something needed to change. Not later, now.

What started as a local support group has grown into a community led movement built on empathy, honesty, and action. X-4RCE CIC now delivers free peer support sessions, fitness-based mental health initiatives, talks, workshops, and training opportunities to help men not just survive, but rebuild. Everything we do is rooted in connection and real-world impact.

We work with men from all walks of life. Some need a space to talk. Some need to move. Some need direction. And some are ready to give back. Wherever they’re at, we meet them there.

Our Vision

Our vision is simple: a world where no man feels he has to suffer in silence. We aim to grow X-4RCE into a trusted name in mental health support, not just in Luton, but across the UK. We’re developing pathways for service users to become peer mentors, building stronger community partnerships, and expanding our fitness and outreach programmes.

Because when men are supported, communities are stronger. And we’re just getting started.
