For some Wednesday wisdom, we would like to share this powerful quote from New York Times best-selling author, journalist and mental health advocate, Matt Haig.

"Mental health problems don't define who you are. They are something you experience. You walk in the rain and you feel the rain, but you are not the rain."

Manbassador number 100!!!

We got there!

We are proud to announce Kirith Entwistle MP 's office as our 100th Manbassador!

Signing up our local MP as a Manbassador is a sign of how far we have come in just under a year. We signed up our first Manbassador since securing the The National Lottery Community Fund , Edu-Lettings , on the 13th January 2025. Now on , 10 months later, we now have 100 men's mental health ambassadors, all beacons of hope, providing a safety net across Bolton and helping to connect men to the support they need.

In the next 12 months, we are looking for more amazing organisations to become Manbassadors and help us to tackle the stigma around men's mental health and accessing support.

Are you ready to play your part?
