We thank Claire Harley for her very generous donation that was delivered to the Foundation recently, along with teddy bear and treats.

NEWS: Supporting Men’s Health

In the lead up to Saturday’s match and beyond, Raith Rovers FC are working with NHS Fife, Raith Rovers Community Foundation and Andys Man Club Kirkcaldy to support men’s mental and physical health.

For too long, men’s health has carried a stigma. Many are still scared to open up, get checked, or admit when they’re struggling, whether that’s in their head or in their body.

Here’s the heartbreaking reality:

– Two men a day in Scotland die by su***de
– Su***de is the biggest killer of men under 54
– Men account for around 74% of su***des in Scotland
– 88% of people who die by su***de are of working age
– Around 37% of Scottish men have had suicidal thoughts due to stress

Looking after your health is not only about speaking up when things feel tough mentally. It is also about taking simple steps to catch physical problems early.

Checks can be simple, private, and could save your life. Checking in with your body is every bit as important as checking in with your mind.

Raith Rovers are a club that truly believes everyone belongs. If Stark’s Park is your escape on a Saturday, or you just need pointed in the right direction for support, whether that is for mental health, cancer screening, eye checks or other tests, they're here for you

This weekend a special Matchday Poster will highlight men’s mental health and Andys Man Club, who run weekly groups for men to talk at venues across the UK - including Stark's Park.

The first 400 men over 50 through the home turnstiles on Saturday, and first 40 away fans, will receive a goody bag with small gifts, men’s health information leaflets (including details on screening programmes) and a raffle ticket for a half time draw, including a Rovers prize and a signed Airdrie shirt.

Raith TV will feature pieces with partners explaining the support they offer, how you can access help for your mental wellbeing, and where to find more information about physical health checks and screenings.

The club wish to say thank you to the Aidan Sutherland Foundation for providing the RRFC bags, the 200 Club for sponsoring the half time raffle prize and to Airdrie FC for supplying the away raffle prize.

Together, we can end the stigma, encourage men to talk, get checked, and show that looking after your mind and body is a sign of strength, not weakness.

SUPPORTING ONE AND ALL.

Don’t ever feel alone. The people you pass in the street, the ones who you think are the lucky ones. They can be suffering in silence and just need someone who will listen to them as well.

If you feel that you can no longer keep strong, PLEASE KEEP TALKING.

Wednesday 1st October is RESTART A HEART Day, and we feel proud knowing the chances of survival from heart failure are increased with the supply of our defibrillator units spread around Kirkcaldy.
With every defibrillator unit that is available to the public, the chances of survival are greater, and moreso if these units are registered on The Circuit. Our national defibrillator database.

There are over 30,000 out-of-hospital cardiac arrests (OHCA) every year in the UK, tragically less than 1 in 10 people survive.

When someone collapses and stops breathing normally, early CPR and defibrillation can double the chances of survival. Knowing where the nearest defibrillator is can make all the difference when every second counts.

You can find our defibrillators at the following sites.
-Mercat Shopping Centre
-Balwearie High School
-Merchant’s Cafe
-Public Toilet block at Kirkcaldy Prom’s Basin car park

There are many other defibrillators in Fife that are registered on the Circuit to allow our Emergency Services to gain information on the nearest site to an emergency situation.

Please follow the link to find out where and when your nearest training event will be held.
