DAPPERS SKY DIVE TO LAUNCH MEN AND THEIR EMOTIONS 5K TARGET!
I have a huge announcement people, tomorrow marks the two-year anniversary of the Facebook group I founded “Men and Their Emotions” we now have over 46,000 men in there talking about difficult things they are dealing with everyday and Im finally thrilled to finally announcing that we are now officially a registered charity!
This milestone enables us to pursue our mission of providing a safe and supportive environment where men can seek help for their mental health challenges through peer-to-peer advice, guidance, and mentoring. Men helping men, men taking.
We are still awaiting for our bank account to go live, when its ready it will give YOU GUYS the opportunity to raise money for us which im so excited about, but you can’t just yet, BUT I CAN and im going to tomorrow by jumping out of a plane at 15000 feet and I need your support!
But before I get into that, I better tell you what I will be raising money for..
At M.A.T.E., we are dedicated to building a community that fosters support and understanding for men facing mental health issues. We believe in the power of shared experiences and offer a platform where men can connect get real relatable advice and find comfort in knowing they are not alone.
While many charities offer face-to-face support, we understand that not everyone is ready for that step. That’s why we’ve embraced a social media platform where you can share anonymously and receive the advice you need at your own pace. - This platform is really working and really saving lives, we know this for a fact, you can post your worries fears and feeling and get support from people with lived experience, or you can go on there to share experience and advice, or just watch and read so you don’t feel alone. We will be using some money to promote the page, get more men in talking.
Money will also go on setting up events and activities to get men together and out talking face to face.
We also plan on supporting other mens mental health charities with the funds we raise, including our partners ADAPT which provides support for men struggling with addiction anywhere in the uk
I personally plan on creating some Men and their emotions funded dry houses with ADAPT, which will be like free rehab centres for lads STRUGGLING LIKE I WAS facilitated by a team of experienced and qualified addiction councillors.
I promise you every single penny will go on helping mens mental health and promoting this Wonderfull community we have created. Ive dedicated the last two years to this, its helped me, its my important achievement and I promise every single penny of your money will go to mens mental health and reducing suicide in men.
In the meantime, I am participating in a charity skydive to raise money for M.A.T.E., with all proceeds going directly to our cause.
I’ll also be posting in our group to gather your ideas for fundraising events and the causes you believe will help us further our mission.
Now my buisness partner Carlos has brought me a sky dive for my 40th birthday, we have a few business together so I foo think its a ploy to kill me so he gets the lot, but we are all going tomorrow to do it, and I thought seeing as tho tomorrow is the launch of the charity why not tie in the two, so, if I can get to 5 k in the next few hours ill dedicate the jump to men and their emotions..
Its been really really hard setting this up, the beurocisy, paper work, due diligence, research, forms, and I honestly simply would not have been able to create this charity over the last two years, while getting sober, having a baby, going on tour etc without my Wonderfull PA Jade, my two trustees Gary Oke & Steven Pierce that have made sure we are doing everything right and my volunteers that have shared the posts and monitord the grouper every single day for the last two years. Ross Mac, Marcus Jones, Luke Hale, Oliver Gladstone, Vigo, Jason Clayton, Gary Lane, Dan Jenny Jeff Watts, Noelsey and Luke for sorting the website free of charge.
Now its your turn to help.. If this is a post hit the link in the comments or comment for it, or if its a story hit the link on it or on the next one and donate, 5K I WANT TO GET IN..
