Oliver's fundraiser for Back & Forth Men’s Mental Health

Oliver Ayling is raising money for Back & Forth Men’s Mental Health

My friends and I will be completing a 125km walk from Chard to Bude to raise money and awareness for men’s mental health. · 25 August 2025

Founded as a tribute to Marc Forth, whose life and legacy inspire our mission to make a difference. Driven by the understanding that men often face unique challenges in expressing their emotions and seeking help, we’ve created a safe and welcoming space where they can share their struggles without fear of judgement. Through open conversations, mutual support, and community connections, we aim to break the silence surrounding men’s mental health, challenge the stigma, and foster a sense of hope and healing for everyone involved. One step at a time.

Story

This year my friends and I will be completing a 125km trek starting at Chard and finishing in Bude. Over the course of five days, we will be camping at multiple campsites and only eating the food that we bring at the start of the trek. The reason we are doing this is to raise money and awareness for one of the men's mental health charities in the uk, the reason we are doing this is because I have suffered with a lot of mental health issues over the past eight years, and I know many others that have had the same problem as myself which we all worked through with help from everyone around us, but I know there are a lot of men out there that have different issues which are 10 times worse with no one around or has no one that cares, and I would like to address this to force more people to become aware of the ongoing risk of men's mental health so that we can all help and protect each other from the dangers we pose to ourselves.
