Some of the coaches across the age groups at BWR are dusting off their boots and taking to the field to show the kids how not to do it! We are raising money for this local charity, a York based group that supports the mental health of men. Menfulness’s hashtag is #DontManUpSpeakUp and a vision of being a society in which men feel empowered and supported to be the best version of themselves. Menfulness brings men together to socialise, exercise and enjoy themselves whilst sharing their experiences in a supportive, impartial environment that improves mental and physical health.

A clip from a blog from one menfulness member :-

“What has ‘Menfulness’ given me? It’s given me a group of men who are breaking the stigma, breaking the idea that vulnerability is a negative or a weakness. An opportunity to talk about my emotions as a person, my anxieties, fears and management of those. A chance to talk in a supportive culture and environment. I’ve heard it talked about as a tribe, not a gang or club that picks and chooses, but a family that cares and, I don’t know if I dare say this, but loves and shows love for each other. Strength as a group comes from being there and sharing your problems. There are no pressures put on anyone and you can turn up and just listen or you can join in.”

Thanks for taking the time to read this, hopefully see plenty of supporters out on feb 25th, York college, 1pm kick off!
