The Time for Action on Men's Health is Now!  Way too many of our Father's, Brother's, Son's, Uncles, Cousin's and Friends are dying too young.

Through support, collaboration, education, advocacy and accountability ManHealth enable men find or change direction in their lives. 

ManHealth are the only voluntary sector organisation using a proactive approach to address the crisis in men's health. ManHealth enable men find or change direction in their lives and provide them the tools to thrive in their lives and become the best version of themselves. ManHealth provide workshops and training on health to empower businesses to engage men and drive change.

In 2024 ManHealth supported over 5,100 men and provided over 10,200 hours of free peer support. Our training directly reached 705 delegates.

Our Vision

• To play a vital role in supporting men and building healthier communities.

Our Mission

• To empower men experiencing mental and/or physical ill health through support, education and shared experience.

ManHealth provides weekly ongoing peer support services to men across the North East of England. Our sessions are led by men with lived experience and provide hugely valued weekly respite and a safe place for men to discuss how they feel.

With an ethos of sharing and education, our groups enable peer to peer empathy, an experienced ear and more importantly, friends that have walked the walk.

Our groups are underpinned with a  positive approach to learning about health issues and our group facilitators  are trained in how to support and help others. Our sessions empower our men through learning and awareness to think about positive change. Each session provides insight into a diverse range of challenges. Through this, we encourage group discussion which consistently provides personal experience insight, a highly valuable aspect of peer to peer support.

In addition to our groups ManHealth organise specific activities that provide a physical focus to our men, with organised walking & football groups being very popular activities. In turn, these activities serve as great social interaction events, helping men to improve their self-confidence.

ManHealth also provides fully accredited training and short courses for businesses enabling us as an organisation to raise awareness of men's health and help others to contribute to that which is the biggest challenge, changing opinions on the need to address men's health inequalities, mental health and suicide.
