Off Topic ANDYS MAN CLUB

Hi guys,

I am involved in a movement that is raising awareness to the high number of men who commit suicide. It is the biggest cause of death in men under the age of 45. I am working on this campaign alongside Luke Ambler, who is a professional Rugby player for Halifax and Ireland. Luke has recently lost a family member to suicide and has put together an organisation in Halifax, called ‘Andysmanclub’. Surprisingly we don’t believe that there’s any male only places like this for men, who are suffering and find it hard to open up. It is an open door centre where any man, of any age, can pop in and know that it’s okay to talk.

Luke is looking to open up 20 centres across the country and estimates this to be at £500 per centre, so we have a target of £10,000 that we are looking to raise.

Luke is close to having more Rugby league clubs on board, and I am in the process of contacting football clubs to see if they will highlight what is going on, and maybe help us with a venue, in that area.

If you can, please donate on the link below as we are extremely grateful for ANYTHING you can afford. If you can't afford anything at the moment, that is fine, we understand. Maybe, you could share our collection page, instead?

Many thanks

Thanks very much lads. I really appreciate it.

I'll give yous a shout out on the news

 

I'm conflicted. On the one hand it is a very worthwhile cause, in the other you are a Mackem!!
Only kidding, excellent cause fella, I know a few blokes that are going through/have gone through this and the more support for them the better

 

Woah, Woah, Woah

Don't come on my thread insulting me like that. I'm from Tyneside, mate.

Thank you, though

 

I have it in my head you're a Jarrow lad. Am I right?

 

Bang on, mate. Although I never went back after I came out of hospital last year. Couldn't face it and I've set up a new life, in a small village in County Durham. I've never felt more at peace with myself than I do now...

 

Ah yeah fair enough mate. Glad to hear you are on top of things though. County Durham is the place to be anyway

 

I've always lived around the corner from it, so to speak, and I never realised how beautiful it is and how much countryside it has. It's great

 

Indeedy mate.
For all it's faults, Consett is a lovely place where I am and the scenery is to die for.

 

****ing Consett - the bastard place has its own weather system. It snows there in the summer.

I know a really really dirty bird from Consett though, so it has its upsides. She works for SAFC.

 

Doesn't she get washed?

 

I am really tempted to just up sticks and move up to County Durham to be honest. A bit of a trek to Leeds, for work, but I am seriously giving it some thought!

 

Move to Alum Waters, mate. I went through there the other day. It's as rural as it gets, not that grand of a place but I just love the name. Sounds delightful

 

Yes, the snow capped hills of July, truly a beautiful sight.

 

Have just done my bit.
