Thank You Co-op Members – You’ve helped raise £2,358.12 for ‘For Men To Talk’!
A huge thank you to all the Co-op Members who nominated ‘For Men To Talk’ over the past 12 months through the Co-op Local Community Fund. Thanks to your amazing support, we have been awarded a fantastic £2,358.12!
This funding will go directly towards supporting men’s mental health by helping us hold 24 face-to-face meetingsacross the year. These meetings provide a safe, welcoming space for men to talk about how they’re feeling — whether it’s anxiety, depression, grief, or just life’s everyday challenges.
Our founder, Luke Newman, said: “We’re so grateful to everyone who chose ‘For Men To Talk’ as their local cause. Every penny helps us keep our meetings running, bringing men together to talk, support each other, and know they’re not alone.”
We’re also delighted to announce that you can nominate ‘For Men To Talk’ once again for the next 12 months through the Co-op Local Community Fund.
What is the Co-op Local Community Fund?
The Co-op Local Community Fund helps projects in local areas that give people the tools and opportunities to thrive. Every time Co-op Members buy selected Co-op products and services, a portion of the money goes to local causeslike ours.
Since the fund began in 2016, Co-op Members have helped share over £115 million with 39,000 community projectsacross the UK — an incredible achievement that shows the power of community spirit.
By being a Co-op Member, you get to choose which local cause you’d like to support. This means you can make a real difference in your own community just by shopping and using your Co-op Membership card.

Why Your Support Matters
‘For Men To Talk’ is a peer support group where men can talk freely about their mental health in a safe and comfortable setting. There’s no registration, no pressure, and no rules — men can speak as much or as little as they like.
Your continued support helps us reach more men who might be struggling in silence. The funds from Co-op Members directly help pay for the meetings that make these conversations possible.
So once again, thank you to all the Co-op Members who have supported us — and remember, you can nominate ‘For Men To Talk’ again for the next year. Every nomination makes a real difference in helping men open up and find hope through conversation.
Together, we’re making talking about mental health something every man feels able to do.
