We support men suffering from bereavement to improve their physical, emotional health

Story

My family and some of my friends have lost young men to suicide, car crashes and other very tragic early deaths. I don’t recall any help for my father at the time of my brother’s death or for my husband when losing his brother... plus many more examples from friends. Of course, this could also be for the loss of a wife, daughter, sister....but my experience has been around boys and young men. 

Then there are the Men left behind who are bereaved and are reluctant to seek out or receive help - and if the offer is taken up it isn’t the right approach for them. Hence I was really pleased to see that StrongMen was offering a different approach to men age 18 to 55 who have suffered the loss of a family member or close friend.

More information on this fantastic charity and what they do can be found below, but in the meantime please help me fundraise so StrongMen can run more courses and offer more places on their activity weekends (they are free to attend but spaces are limited by funds donated).
