Aspray is delighted to announce the successful fundraising of £1,610 for the exceptional charity ANDYSMANCLUB during our recent national conference. The funds were raised through a lively raffle and an engaging game of Heads and Tails, bringing our team together for a cause we passionately support.
Championing Men’s Mental Health
ANDYSMANCLUB is a pioneering men’s suicide prevention charity dedicated to breaking the stigma surrounding men’s mental health. They provide free-to-attend peer-to-peer support groups across the UK, creating a safe, non-judgmental space for men to open up about their struggles. With over 200 groups meeting every Monday evening, ANDYSMANCLUB reaches more than 4,500 men each week, supported by a network of 1,600+ dedicated volunteers.
Founded in 2016 by Elaine and Luke, the club was inspired by the tragic loss of Andrew Roberts, who took his own life at the age of 23. Since then, ANDYSMANCLUB has grown into a vital lifeline for many men across the country. Their mission is clear: to help one man, to save one life. This ethos resonates deeply with Aspray, and we are honored to support their work.
At the heart of ANDYSMANCLUB is the belief that talking can be transformative. The groups are designed to be pressure-free, allowing men to speak or simply listen. This approach has proven incredibly effective in helping men navigate their mental health challenges, providing a sense of community and understanding that can be hard to find elsewhere.
Aspray was honored to invite Lucas Whitehead from ANDYSMANCLUB to our national conference to speak about the charity and the phenomenal impact they have had on men’s mental health. Lucas said: “A massive thank you to everyone at Aspray for their continued fundraising and support for ANDYSMANCLUB. Working alongside Aspray, we’ve been made to feel as though we are part of the Aspray family. The financial support offered will be invaluable in aiding us to raise awareness of male suicide and male mental health issues.
