A big thank you to the team at . They recently contacted Bolton Manbassadors with an amazing offer of a free 3-day gym access pass for men that have accessed our service, as part of their Movember campaign. The guys absolutely loved the facilities including the gym area, boxing, swimming pool, steam room and sauna.

The guys felt at ease with the welcoming atmosphere; from being greeted by the amazing staff at reception to other gym members being so kind and stopping to assist and show them how to use the machines correctly.

All the guys would definitely jump at the chance to attend again, if they could and would highly recommend this gym for its clean and professional facilities and amazing staff that went out of their way to make it a great experience.

Across the UK, men are finding new ways to connect and talk about their mental health - backed by £80 million of National Lottery funding.

Our latest story explores what that looks like on the ground, from walking football sessions to the Manbassadors network in Greater Manchester, where sports clubs and even barbers act as the first point of contact for life-changing intervention and support.

Thanks to National Lottery players, £30 million is raised each week for good causes, helping power projects like these every day.

Did you know?

We have had over 50 volunteers helping us to deliver sessions out in the community. Those volunteers have provide over 900 hours of their own free time to support Bolton Manbassadors, which would equate to a cost saving of £10,989 (based on National Living Wage). The impact of this project couldn't be achieved without you!

Thank you Kirith Entwistle MP for your support for our project! No man needs to suffer in silence. Having men’s health ambassadors, such as Kirith and her team can help us to change the narrative around men’s mental health and hopefully make accessing support easier for men.
