Our Vision
Our Mission
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.

What an amazing night was had by all at The Globe Theatre Stockton for our Sing Along to the Musicals and Movies. Over 500 audience members sang their hearts out accompanied by our brilliant 14 pice live band with 5 singers.
An amazing challenge in the most challenging conditions imaginable. 62 men battling Storm Bert to walk from Langdon Beck to Darlington to raise nearly £18000 to support our work.
A great night was enjoyed by all in memory of a special man. Les Bowden.
The weather was kind to us once again and we all had a lovely walk along the River Wear to Wolsingham.
