Men's
support group Andy's Man Club
now have 20 groups operating across the UK- 20 places for men to drop
in and talk, in private, about any problems they might be having.
It's a support network for male depression, with the intention of
reducing the suicide rate in men. This is the leading cause of death
in men under 50.
Today,
Andy's Man Club are touring the country's 20 locations on a giant
branded bus. As I type they're in Manchester centre, handing out
flyers, stickers and keyrings, and talking to the public, encouraging
people to consider attending the Monday night session in The Federation on Federation St.
Andy's Man Club On Tour
turned out to be a great morning in Oldham, in Parliament Square.
People have been receptive, and keen to listen about what we do. I
expect a handful of the men we spoke to will make their way down to
the Oldham group on Monday night.
Also,
we bumped into a bit of a local legend: Elliott Mellor from
Countdown! He won the highest score in the show's history with 151
points.
Great
day. I'm really hoping that the people we spoke to will find the
courage to drop into the group on Monday night. Making that first
step through the door is one of the hardest things you can do, but
once you've made that step, you'll find any of the 20 clubs welcoming
and friendly.
The
bus is now heading to Stafford, Porthcawl and Exeter. See the
itinerary here!
Great morning in Oldham with @andysmanclubuk
on tour! Let's hope some of the brave people we spoke to will
make that first step through the door of a group on Monday night. pic.twitter.com/Qct3k9xzGe
