Our Story
Andy’s Man Club is a movement born out of love, loss, and a mission to save lives. Founded in 2016 after the tragic loss of Andy Roberts to suicide, this remarkable charity has grown into a lifeline for men across the UK who are struggling with their mental health.
What began as a single support group in Halifax has now expanded to over 100 locations nationwide, offering a safe, non-judgmental space for men to open up, share their experiences, and find hope. Andy’s Man Club is more than just a charity; it’s a brotherhood dedicated to breaking the silence and stigma surrounding men’s mental health.
Our Mission
The mission of Andy’s Man Club is simple yet profound: to create an environment where men feel empowered to talk about their mental health and seek the support they need. This mission is driven by four core principles:
- Providing Safe Spaces: Offering weekly peer-led support groups where men can speak freely without fear of judgment.
- Raising Awareness: Challenging societal stigmas and encouraging open conversations about men’s mental health.
- Saving Lives: Working tirelessly to prevent male suicides, one of the leading causes of death in men under 50.
- Building a Community: Creating a sense of belonging and camaraderie through connection and understanding.
With the simple yet powerful motto, "It’s okay to talk," Andy’s Man Club is transforming lives and fostering a culture where seeking help is seen as a strength, not a weakness.
