I’m Back on the Bench – This Time in Cardiff! Supporting Andy’s Man Club
After an incredible experience as the Bench Coach with the Mental Health Hockey Team in 2024 at Ice Sheffield, I’m thrilled to be heading to Cardiff to do it all over again. But this time, it’s about more than just hockey – I’m raising money for Andy’s Man Club, a charity that has genuinely changed my life.
I first walked through the doors of Andy’s Man Club’s Doncaster group in July 2021, during one of the hardest times in my life. That support helped me keep going when I didn’t think I could, and today, I’m honored to be a Lead Facilitator, helping other men find the strength to keep moving forward.
Andy’s Man Club offers a safe, non-judgmental space for men to talk openly about their mental health and tackle the stigma around it. Right now, over 5,000 men attend more than 230 groups across the UK every week. Each of those men has their own story, and each one is finding support that can genuinely make a life-or-death difference.
By supporting this fundraiser, you’re helping Andy’s Man Club reach even more men who need someone to listen and understand. Every donation, no matter how small, will go towards expanding these groups, training facilitators, and providing crucial mental health support across the UK.
Please join me in supporting this amazing cause. Let’s keep pushing forward for every man out there who needs a helping hand.
Thank you for being part of this journey with me!
