What your organisation does
We will carry out our Charitable purposes by providing a safe place and support network for men of all ages and abilities to meet together on a regular basis enabling them to learn new skills, share existing skills and knowledge, with others and to have fun learning and meeting together . We will also deliver a range of workshops including
practical advice and opportunities to raise awareness in terms of the importance of good mental health and well-being. We will continue to provide awareness programmes like the recent bowel cancer awareness session which provided our members with a comprehensive breakdown of symptoms and an insight into the operation of the new bowel cancer home test kit.
