Out of Office Network Group partners with mental health
charity, Andy’s Man Club LAST MONTH, Network Group hosted its Exhibition, Gala & Awards. Chosen charity partner for the event was, Andy’s Man Club, a mental health charity offering free-to-attend nationwide talking groups for men who are going through an emotionally turbulent time. Andy’s Man Club was started by former Leeds Rhinos player
Luke Ambler in 2016 in memory of his brother-in-law, Andy Roberts, who took his own life at the age of just 23. With the aim of trying to prevent other families from going through similar trauma, Luke started a group in Halifax which has quickly grown to some 69 groups all over the country today. Te sessions take place weekly and encourage men to talk with each other about any issues they’re facing. Te charity was introduced to Network Group by Leon
McQuade of member company Tink Cloud. As a trustee of Andy’s Man Club he said: “I’m driven to help break the stigmas associated with mental health. Tese stigmas – weakness, burden and embarrassment – are what stop men from speaking out. Trough my work with Andy’s Man Club, we are helping pave the way for men to know that#ITSOKAYTOTALK.” We were also joined by Paul Longley who volunteers as Lead Facilitator of the Hull club, who said “Te Gala was amazing;
the support me and Andy’s Man Club received was fantastic. Te money raised and the awareness created simply saves lives. Speaking to the Network Group family cemented how their business community wants to support mental health. Being able to share the AMC story on such a stage was humbling and so rewarding; thank you so much for the opportunity and for choosing Andy’s Man Club to be your chosen charity.”
