Andrew Greenway is a project development champion for ANDYSMANCLUB. ANDYSMANCLUB are a Men’s Mental Health Charity, offering free-to-attend talking groups for men and challenging the stigmas around male mental health. They started off as one group in the small, northern town of Halifax, and now have over 55 groups, and still growing, across the UK.
Andy first started using ANDYSMANCLUB in Feb 2017, being a stereotypical bloke and choosing the chin up, chest out attitude as a defense mechanism for many years. Andy was advised to go along by a family member and since the first session noticed a huge difference in himself in being more open.
We discuss the power of shared connections in this space, reducing the stigma, messages behind the charity, and aims for expansion in the future.
