Fast Lane Partners with
Maidenhead United
and CALM (Campaign Against Living Miserably)
Following on from our recent partnership with Maidenhead United Football Club as the Community Sponsor for Women’s Football, we are delighted to announce that we are fully onboard and in support of their new community initiative and
partnership with CALM ( The Campaign Against Living Miserably).
ABOUT CALM
CALM stands together with everyone who is struggling with life, no matter who they are, where they are from or what they are going through. They do it through their life-saving services, national campaigns, and by building communities. Anyone can feel suicidal.
So CALM is there for everyone. From advice on their website about issues people might be facing; through to free, confidential chats with their helpline staff, online or on the phone, they are here for anyone who’s struggling, every single day of the year. No matter what.
Their helpline and webchat are open 365 days a year, offering practical suggestions for all of life’s problems - whether that’s anxiety, relationship concerns, health worries, money worries, or suicidal thoughts. Their staff answers a call every 59 seconds - they listen, talk, and help people struggling with life to make a plan so they can begin to look to the future.
Andy Turner, Managing Director, Fast Lane: “Fast Lane is once again delighted to be involved with Maidenhead United for all the great work within our community, this time teaming up with CALM (Campaign Against Living Miserably). CALM is such a great initiative of help and resources in taking a stand against suicide, especially now at a time in the UK when many are struggling. No one deserves to live miserably, and we are determined as a business that no one does. Standing up to stereotypes and standing together with CALM to show life is always worth living, such a great cause.”
Maidenhead United FC Chief Executive Officer, Jon Adams, commented:
“Our key objective is to make a positive difference to all members of our community and our partnership with CALM will allow us to connect those who are in need of support with the right resources to help them overcome whatever challenges they may be facing.”
Simon Gunning, Chief Executive Officer at CALM commented: "We’re absolutely delighted that Maidenhead United FC has chosen to partner with CALM for the coming season and would like to thank the club and the local businesses who are funding our shirt sponsorship for making this a reality. The club plays an important role in the community, and by coming together and shining a light on mental health and suicide we can genuinely help save lives.”
