Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

Hi I Am Phil a keen Motorcyclist with a sense for adventure, and along with my friend Paul regularly tour the uk on our motorcycles as a yearly event. Having done this for a number of years we thought of doing something different in 2024.

we came up with the idea of riding our Honda Africa twins around the coastal roads of the uk , and given this would be a trip of around 5000 miles decided to try and raise some funds and awareness for a good cause. After a chance meeting at a local bike event we met some of the members from Andys man club and after talking to them thought the work they did was invaluable given the way things are in the world at the moment and they seemed keen to be involved in our journey.

more information can be found at the bottom of the page 

we will be seeking sponsorship from some major companies and individuals  to help with our journey and raise funds for Andys man club ,  here is a list of companies whi have supported us so far :

ANDYSMANCLUB takes its name from Andrew Roberts, a man who sadly took his own life aged 23 in early 2016. Andy’s family had no inkling that he was suffering or struggling to the extent that he would do this, and as a result looked deeper into male suicide and men’s mental health. They soon discovered that male suicide is the biggest killer of men under 50, with male mental health surrounded by well-ingrained cultural stigma in the UK.Elaine Roberts and Luke Ambler are Andy’s Mum and Brother-in-Law, together they came up with the idea of ANDYSMANCLUB, a group where men aged 18 and above can speak openly about their mental health in a judgment-free, non-clinical environment. Groups now operate nationwide and are completely volunteer-led, with the vast majority of group facilitators having first interacted with ANDYSMANCLUB when they came through the door as a service user.
