Andy's Man Club
"provides free confidential peer-to-peer support groups for men struggling with mental health issues."
ANDYSMANCLUB takes its name from Andrew Roberts, a man who sadly took his own life aged 23 in early 2016. Andy’s family had no inkling that he was suffering or struggling to the extent that he would do this, and as a result looked deeper into male suicide and men’s mental health. They soon discovered that male suicide is the biggest killer of men under 54, with male mental health surrounded by well-ingrained cultural stigma in the UK.
Elaine Roberts and Luke Ambler are Andy’s Mum and Brother-in-Law, together they came up with the idea of ANDYSMANCLUB, a group where men aged 18 and above can speak openly about their mental health in a judgment-free, non-clinical environment.
Groups now operate nationwide and are completely volunteer-led, with all group facilitators having first interacted with ANDYSMANCLUB when they came through the door as a service user.
Our mission, put simply, is to prevent other families from going through the heartache and grief caused by suicide, by encouraging men to speak openly about their issues.
With suicide rates soaring in the UK, and the bulk of those being male, its never been a better time to support a charity like ANDYSMANCLUB.
We only exist because of the fantastic support of people like you. There’s been so much terrific work in our communities with a a core focus of encouraging men to talk about their problems and challenges, and spreading the #ITSOKAYTOTALK hashtag.
We want you to know we value all the time and support you give us, everything you do to raise awareness heightens our chances of getting in front of #ThatOneMan who needs us at the right time, and ultimately, saving lives.
There’s lots of ways you can help support and raise awareness for us and we’ve seen an immense amount of support over the years. Incredible supporters running, walking and swimming marathons, climbing mountains, organising football matches in support of us, skydiving and hosting music events. The list goes on.
Whatever way you’d like to raise awareness, we’ll support you all the way. For any enquiries regarding raising awareness contact us today to see how we can help.
