About Us

We Break Down the Stigma of Men’s Mental Health

ANDYSMANCLUB has free support groups nationwide, running every Monday from 7PM except bank holidays. In these groups, men can open up about the storms affecting their lives in a safe, judgement-free and non-clinical environment. Our clubs are designed to be free of pressure, there is no obligation for men to speak, they can simply listen if they wish.

With thousands of men using our sessions every week, and an army of volunteers on board, the movement is continuing to grow week-by-week. We firmly believe in the power of talking and that #ItsOkayToTalk.

The aim of the club is to provide men with a safe space where they feel comfortable to talk and open up about their experiences in a room free of judgment.

Real Stories

The only rule at ANDYSMANCLUB is “It’s Okay To Talk”.

Simply put, that’s the whole point. It’s a group where men don’t have to battle to be heard or listened to, but where they can join the fight to reduce the rate of suicide in men.

Whilst we encourage our guys to talk, we respect their privacy, so these real stories are all anonymous.

ANDYSMANCLUB

It was probably the toughest year of my life. I went through times where I was feeling okay kind of back to my normal self, but I had times where I was signed off work, I couldn't get out bed for days on end. I didn't want to see my children I and I didn't want them to see me in the way I was. I contemplated a lot of dark thoughts.

I’ve really struggled with my mental health for quite a few years and it reached a point where I’d attempted suicide. I started seeing a counsellor after that, but that wasn’t successful. I got my life a bit back on track and ended up re-lapsing and trying again for a second time. After that, I joined ANDYSMANCLUB and I am now a facilitator and my life is back on track.

From late 2017, I found myself in a position where a build up across several years of stresses and anxieties had got the better of me. One of the biggest contributing factors to this was how uncomfortable I felt talking to people about my issues and feeling as though I was burdening people.

Even though I facilitate the Peterborough group I also use it and without it I’m really not sure I would be here today to tell you this story, this is the first time I have admitted this. The support offered by AMC is immense.
