Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Over the last year playing 5-aside football with Menfulness has been a regular part of my son Jack's life. This has played a huge part in helping him to improve his fitness, enhance his general wellbeing and regain his love of sport and exercise. The inclusive and supportive nature of the group made it a great environment to be in. I am hoping to raise enough money to pay for a course of counselling for another man; helping someone else's son, or husband or brother to keep talking. 

Having only started running two years ago, with Couch to 5k, this is a massive challenge for me - the hardest physical pursuit I will have ever attempted, having trained hard for 10 weeks. Every step will be worth it knowing that the money I raise can help another man, and his family, to feel better about life. #DontManUpSpeakUp

Menfulness brings men together to socialise, exercise, enjoy themselves, talk and let off steam in a non-judging, friendly and supportive environment. These are all essential for wellbeing and health, both physical and mental. A volunteer led organisation, all the money donated or pledged is directly benefitting Mens mental health. Whether managing ongoing mental health issues, preventing recurrence or just proactively promoting your own mental health and wellbeing we will have an activity to suit you. Most activities are non formal in terms of the support they offer, however we have incredible links with a local Counselling organisation when our members are ready for that extra bit of support. They can have men into professional counselling within 7 days.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
