Why I’m Fundraising for Andy’s Man Club

I’ve already completed my first climb in January — and it’s only the beginning. I’ll be documenting each climb along the way via Facebook and social media, and I’ll try to go live where signal allows, so people can follow the journey in real time.

Two years ago, I walked through the doors of Andy’s Man Club looking for support. Like many men, I didn’t have all the answers — but I knew I couldn’t keep everything bottled up.

What I found was a safe space. No judgement. Just honest conversations with people who understood.

That support changed a lot for me. Eighteen months ago, I became a facilitator, and I now help run my local club — supporting other men who may be standing where I once stood.

This is my third GoFundMe for Andy’s Man Club. So far, with your help, I’ve raised just over £2,000, and this time I want to smash it.

To do that, I’m setting myself a big physical and mental challenge. Not because I’m fearless, but because pushing my limits has been a huge part of my own mental health journey. If this inspires even one person to believe that change is possible, it will be worth it.

Every pound raised helps Andy’s Man Club continue offering free, confidential support to men who need it — no referrals, no waiting lists, just a place to talk.

If you can donate, thank you.

If you can’t, sharing this page means just as much.

Let’s do something big — together.
