Battling Mental health together- Andy's Man Club

After a long battle with depression, we recently lost our beloved uncle to Suicide. No words can explain the feeling of losing someone that we were so close to, to this horrible illness. Towards the end of Simons battle with depression, he did everything he could to try and save himself, one of them being; attending Andys Man club.

Here are some words from Andy's man Club "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 they would like to get off their chest. We have no waiting list, no referral or signing in process." They have a similar sister service carried out by Mind Charity.

Simon spoke about how Andy's Man club helped him massively whilst he was still with us. We have decided to take on the Yorkshire three peaks challenge to raise awareness and funds for this fantastic organisation, with the hope that the funds we raise can be put towards anything that can help prevent someone from taking their own life.

We will complete the challenge in two groups, one on the 23rd and one on the 30th of July. We aim to complete the challenge on the 30th in the dark, however, if this is deemed too dangerous or a guide can't be arranged, it will be done in fancy dress instead.

Any donation to help meet our goal would be highly appreciated!
