Manbassadors

Bolton Manbassadors is an award-winning men's mental health project that we run.

It aims to:

  • Grow a network of local organisations across Bolton acting as men’s health advocates called ‘Manbassadors’ who support and communicate with their customers.
  • Help men to access local services and support for issues that impact their mental health.
  • Develop a network of men’s social community activities in Bolton to provide safe spaces for men to talk to one another about mental health.

Last year, we:
