🚨 WE NEED YOUR HELP! 🚨
​At M.E.N.D. (Men Empowering New Direction), our mission is simple: making sure no man has to face his struggles alone. To reach more men in our community and provide a safe, visible space for peer support, we need a dedicated "home base" for our outdoor events.
​We are looking to raise £1,200 to purchase our official M.E.N.D. Gazebo. ⛺️
​This isn't just a tent—it's a beacon. It’s where conversations start, where the stigma breaks, and where men find out they aren't alone.
​How you can help:
​Donate: Every pound counts toward our goal.
​Share: Even if you can’t donate, hitting "share" might put this in front of someone who can!
​Reach Out: If you represent a local business interested in sponsoring us, we’d love to chat.
​📧 Contact us at: menempowering@proton.me
​Together, we can M.E.N.D. the silence. 🤝

Happy Easter, gents! 🐣⚽️

Hope you’re all having a cracking weekend with the families and getting a bit of a breather.

Just a quick one from the coaches 😎we know the "Busy Dad" life can be a lot to juggle, and sometimes the holidays add that extra bit of pressure.

If anyone is finding things a bit tough right now, or just needs a vent, please don't sit on it.

Whether you want to:
* Grab a quiet word with one of the coaches.
* Drop a message in the chat or a private DM.
* Get pointed toward professional support or someone outside the club.

We’re here for more than just the physical activity. The door (and the inbox) is always open.

Have a great day, stay safe, and we'll see you soon! 👊
