We exist to support All Men’s mental health, improve men's quality of life, expand and enrich men’s connections. We facilitate activities that support positive mental, physical and emotional health and wellbeing for men. We run weekly groups, sessions and activities, facilitated on a peer to peer basis where men can meet in a safe and friendly place, talk openly, be listened to and feel supported without judgment within a confidential setting from people who are equal to you – your peers. Men from all walks of life come together daily/weekly to share their experiences, their struggles and their advice with one another. In our peer support network and groups you are able to talk to other men who have first-hand lived experience of similar situations. Men can come along, take part, have fun, get fit, meet new people. Or men can simply come along, see what we are about and listen without any pressure to talk. This is absolutely fine too.

Story

Men Matter Scotland are a charity I am very proud to be the Chair of.

The benefits they have given me are huge and I want to try and give a bit back.

If you thought the conditions of the pavements and roads in Glasgow are bad now, wait till I start running on them.

MMS is a peer to peer organisation that strives to reduce suicide and improve mental health and well being. We work tirelessly to do this, but it all costs money.

If you can do so please donate any amount you can afford - safe in the knowledge that this 50 year old will be in agony over the next few months

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails.
