This November, colleagues across West Midlands Trains are pledging to walk 100 miles to raise funds to support men’s mental health. Join us in pledging to walk 100 miles throughout the month to raise funds for Andy’s Man Club, a charity dedicated to providing support and reducing the stigma around men’s mental health.
I have recently had contact with a passenger at work, he just needed someone to talk to and me just taking half an hour to listen to him has changed his outlook on life. Our first meeting was less than a week ago. He was so down he hadn't washed for 3 weeks. 5 days later (I've seen him everyday) he's turned up washed, shaven, clean clothes.
Men need to talk too! And Andys man club offers the space for them to do just that, if they want to. If they don't, they can just have a cuppa and listen to others.
Please donate! I was right place, right time. This gentleman has previously sat on the tracks at my station, due to his depression.
It shouldn't take a chance meeting, he should always have a safe space to talk
