How we help our service users

Peer to Peer Support

Our Men’s Peer Support Groups provide a safe, welcoming space for men to share their experiences, challenges, and successes with others who truly understand. These sessions foster a sense of community and mutual support, helping members build resilience and find strength in shared experiences.

📍 Join us at our weekly sessions:

Tuesdays – Raynham Way, Luton
🖥 Online: 6:00 PM - 7:00 PM

Enjoy complimentary tea & coffee, meet new people, and connect with a community that supports you.

One-to-One Free Mentoring

We offer free, informal counselling sessions tailored to individual needs. These one-to-one sessions provide a confidential and supportive environment where members can discuss their concerns, receive guidance, and explore strategies for improving their mental health.

Funding for Creative, Fitness and Educational Initiatives

We believe in the power of creativity, fitness, and education to transform lives. Our funding programme supports members in pursuing their dreams or enhancing their lives through creative projects, fitness goals, or educational opportunities. These initiatives are designed to improve mental health and overall well-being.

Our Projects

What we are funding now, and what we hope to fund.

Eric

Eric is funded through our creator program to help him to achieve his dream of building cosplay suits. Eric has an incredible talent in 3d printing and designing cosplays for comic cons. Eric has also signed up to volunteer and will be wearing his iron man costume out on fundraising days for X-4RCE.

Rob

Rob is also funded through our creator program and is currently producing music with the equipment X-4RCE has loaned him. Through his natural musical abilities and the help and support of X-4RCE, Rob is working towards a career in the music industry. We hope that he will go on to be a big name that can create a pathway for other aspiring local artists to follow in his footsteps.

Jas

We’re proud to support Jas, a service user, in creating a comic book set in Luton that highlights the mental health struggles of its characters. Funded by X-4RCE CIC, this powerful narrative will be available at Luton Comic Con 2024. Through this project, Jas aims to raise awareness and spark conversations about mental health in our community.

AFC Awareness

At X-4RCE CIC, we are proud to sponsor AFC Awareness, a football team dedicated to promoting men’s mental health. By using the power of sport, AFC Awareness provides a supportive community where men can come together, enjoy the game, and openly discuss their mental health struggles. Our sponsorship helps fund the team’s activities, ensuring that more men have access to this unique and impactful support system. We’re thrilled to be part of this initiative, which aligns perfectly with our mission to improve mental health in our community.

Testimonials

Eric

The X-4rce group has been an invaluable asset to me in bettering myself and dealing with my issues as they come. Having this dedicated space to talk about my problems has been very helpful to me in both my personal and professional life. The creators fund has also helped me to continue doing what I love and makes me happy for a good cause. I am eternally grateful to the wonderful people here at X-4rce. 

Rob

In a world that hardens your heart, and everyday trials teach you to close it off from the world, I have met a super hero.His super power redefined what strength means to me, where others would tell you to keep your head down and keep going, he would tell you to walk with your head high and take a moment. To feel that which you need to feel, to do that which you want to do and to love that which is dear to your heart. Luton’s Deadpool taught me that real strength is opening up your heart to kindness and prevailing, not letting the world mould you with tribulations. Hope for a better future, a better us and a better me, that is what X-4RCE does best.
