Episode 9: Andy's Man Club

Welcome to Proper Mental Episode 9!

This week Tom is joined by Andrew Greenway who is the Project Development Champion at Andy’s Man Club.

Andy's Man Club is a talking group for men to come together and talk about issues or problems they may be facing or have faced.

It was founded in 2016 by Luke Ambler and his mother-in-Law Elaine after Elaine’s son Andy tragically took his own life.

The club started with one location in Halifax and on the very first night 9 men attended. 

They now have 50 clubs all over the U.K with around 900 men attending every week!

I chat to Andrew about how the organisation started and what they do, about how he got involved and we really get in to men’s mental health and why it’s important for blokes to talk about how they’re feeling.

I cannot speak highly enough of Andy’s Man Club and what they are doing up and down the country every single Monday night!

What these guys are doing is nothing short of incredible and hearing about how it all started and where it’s going was a fascinating listen.  So much thought has gone in to how the meetings are structured and how everything is set up.  Every last detail has been covered to help as many men as possible.  Every club in the U.K even meets at the same time, on the same night so you can drop in at any location if you just happen to be passing through.  It really is an amazing set up!

This feels like an important episode and it would be great if you could listen then like and share because you just never know who’ll hear it and maybe start going along to their nearest club and that could literally save a life.
