The Essex Police Mens Forum have joined up with Essex County Fire and Rescue Service and the East of England Ambulance Service to host an International Men's Day Conference. The conference will focus on making a positive difference to the wellbeing and lives of men and boys, raise awareness and/or funds for charities supporting men and boys’ wellbeing and promote a positive conversation about men, manhood and masculinity. This years charity is Lads Need Dads CIC and we look forward to not only hearing from our very own Ps Jamie Edwards about his Reading Mentor volunteer role with LND, but also raising awareness of their work and some funding to support their activities.
