Help Us Support Men’s Mental Health with Mentribe

Hi, my name is Callum, and I’m the founder of Mentribe, a not-for-profit organisation dedicated to supporting men’s mental health and wellbeing through the power of the outdoors.

I created Mentribe because I’ve walked this path myself. After 14 years of service as an Army Commando, my career in the armed forces was cut short due to my own struggles with mental health and depression. Leaving the military was one of the hardest transitions of my life. I felt lost, disconnected, and unsure of where to turn.

Moving back home to North Wales, I quickly realised that the support networks for men were severely lacking. NHS waiting lists for mental health services were painfully long, and the stigma around men asking for help left many isolated, just as I had felt. It was clear to me that something needed to change.

Drawing on my experience as a mountain leader and previously as an Adventure Training Instructor in the military, I set up Mentribe to provide a safe, supportive space where men could connect, share, and rebuild their mental and physical resilience. Through the healing power of nature and shared experiences, Mentribe has become a lifeline for men who, like me, have struggled in silence.

Why We Need Your Help:

Right now, Mentribe is entirely self-funded. I cover everything, from hot drinks and snacks to organising and leading events. But as demand grows, this is no longer sustainable. I’m reaching out for your support to ensure Mentribe can continue and grow, to support even more men in need.

Your donations will help us:

• Provide Essential Equipment: Many men can’t join us because they don’t have the right outdoor gear. We want to remove this barrier and ensure everyone can participate.

• Organise More Events: Funding will allow us to host impactful sessions and bring in expert instructors to enhance our activities.

• Offer Private Therapy in Crisis: With NHS waiting lists so long, we aim to provide access to private therapy for men in urgent need.

• Sustain the Organisation: Covering my costs as a leader and organiser will ensure I can continue dedicating the time and energy needed to keep Mentribe running.

Why It Matters:

Men’s mental health is in crisis. Too many men feel isolated and unable to ask for help, often with devastating consequences. At Mentribe, we’re breaking down barriers, fostering community, and offering practical and emotional support through the transformative power of the outdoors and peer to peer support.

How You Can Help?

Every donation, no matter the size, makes a difference. Your support could provide a man with the gear he needs to join us, fund therapy for someone in crisis, or help us grow and reach more men who desperately need this support network.

Thank you for believing in Mentribe and helping us continue this vital work. Together, we can ensure no man in North Wales—and beyond—feels alone.
