Supporting men’s mental health: How you can help ‘For Men To Talk’

‘For Men To Talk’ is a lifeline for men struggling with anxiety, depression, and grief. Founded as a Community Interest Company (CIC), it is dedicated to creating a safe space for men to open up about their mental health without fear or stigma. But to keep this essential service running, we need your support.

A CIC, like ‘For Men To Talk,’ operates for the benefit of the community rather than profit. Luke Newman, the founder, explains, “Our mission is to help men feel heard, understood, and supported. But to continue this work, we rely on the generosity of individuals and businesses to fund our services.”

Why ‘For Men To Talk’ Matters

Mental health struggles can feel isolating, especially for men. ‘For Men To Talk’ provides various ways to connect, whether it’s through physical meetings, virtual sessions, walking groups, or even fishing events. These activities give men a chance to share their experiences with others who truly understand.

Talking openly about mental health reduces stigma and can lead to real change in someone’s life. The group’s impact is clear: many participants have expressed how these sessions helped them find hope and strength during their darkest times.

How Donations Make a Difference

Running a peer support group takes more than time and passion—it also requires funding. Donations and fundraising help cover the costs of tasks, such as:

• Organising meetings, both in-person and online.
• Managing social media, marketing, and blog updates to reach more men.
• Developing and maintaining the website to provide resources and updates.
• Day-to-day operations that keep the group running smoothly.

Every donation, no matter the size, makes a significant impact. Whether it’s helping to set up a new meeting location or expanding outreach to reach more men, your support plays a crucial role.

How You Can Help

If you or your business want to contribute, there are many ways to get involved:

• Make a donation. Every pound counts toward supporting men’s mental health.

Luke Newman encourages everyone to get involved, saying, “Together, we can create a world where men feel empowered to talk about their mental health. Your support could be the reason someone finds the help they need.”
