Charity run to support men’s mental health. #ITSOKAYTOTALK

In October I’m running The Great Eastern Run, a half marathon and my first one also, so I've taken the opportunity to raise some funds for charity, I'm raising money in aid of ANDYSMANCLUB Limited and every donation will help. Thank you in advance for your contribution to this cause that means so much to me.

More information about ANDYSMANCLUB Limited: ANDYSMANCLUB is a male suicide prevention charity. We were established in 2016 after the tragic loss of Andrew Roberts to suicide aged 23. We facilitate non professional peer to peer support groups across the Uk and Scotland for any man to attend over 18. We provide a confidential non judgemental space for men to come together to chat about anything that they would like to get off of their chest. We have no waiting list, no referral or signing in process.

The ONS figures showed that the highest suicide rates in England and Wales were among men, where the rate was 17.4 deaths per 100,000 people in 2023 – up from 16.4 deaths per 100,000 in 2022. The rate rose to 25.5 deaths per 100,000 for males aged between 45 and 49.

This highlights that there is a problem area here, ANDYSMANCLUB aim to support men where possible and promote #ITSOKAYTOTALK in an attempt to lower these statistics.
