In past few weeks we have received several just giving donations. These were a lovely surprise as we did not know they would be coming, but this means we also do not know to thank.

So if you or someone you know raised money for us through Just Giving recently please get in touch so we can thank you properly.

The Cornermen team 👊

He did it!!
It was a lot harder than he thought but at the 2nd attempt, when first had failed due to altitude sickness Luke did it!
Well done Luke, we’re immensely proud of you 🙌

He’s raised an amazing amount but If you’d like to help Luke reach his target and make the altitude sickness worth it, then please donate on link

Luke Brandish still battling away climbing Mount Kilimanjaro to raise money for the cornermen.

Luke is super fit and had to be told to slow down by the guides 🤣 but getting to the summit is proving a bigger challenge than he expected.Here at the cornermen we love Luke for the challenges he’s already come and so proud to see him take on this one. Donate if you can to motivate him to get over the line 👊

Today Luke Brandish set off on his challenge to climb Mount Kilimanjaro and raise money for The Cornermen. Luke said he chose to raise money for us because we are “very close to his heart after using the service for a number of years” .

In Kilimanjaro Luke is taking on the world’s tallest free- standing mountain of 19,340 feet and will battle temperatures ranging from tropical at the base to below freezing at the top. We hope the hoodie keeps him warm!

We aim to keep updating everyone on how Luke is getting on during his challenge(dependent on the WiFi in mountains huts) and we wish him luck.

Link to donate and help him reach his target is below

Every year South Moreton Boxing Club runs a Toy Bank appeal. The Cornermen assists with this by helping wrap and deliver toys to recipients.

The toy bank, has grown year on year since it was started. Working alongside local social services and schools it makes sure brand new toys are delivered to families that need them at Christmas. With demand rising we now need more help with organising this years appeal.

If you can spare some time, have great organisation and communication skills please contact us on info@thecornermen.org

Last week John and Steve went over to Lucy Group Ltd in Oxford. They spoke in the board room to senior members of company and covered amongst other items…

•How anyone can get to a point of Crisis
•What we can do if we are in a point of Crisis
•What we can do if we are worried about someone

They of course also took along the pads and gloves so that the team could have a go at a bit of Boxing themselves.

Lucy’s have been a long term supporter of what we are doing here at the Cornermen, so it is nice we can reciprocate in the relationship by sharing our knowledge with their staff.

If you’d like The Cornermen to visit your staff team for su***de prevention training that is sensitive to the seriousness of the subject, but also good humoured with a chance to do some punching (be surprised how many people suddenly find they love it 👊😆) then feel free to get in touch.

When Lucy Ambache from Radio Oxford contacted us and asked if there was anyone we’d like to nominate for “Sports Legend of the week” .We knew exactly who deserves a bit of recognition for the help he does with The Cornermen, his fundraising and vocal support of when we do…also a f**king good boxer, Mr Joe Howard!

Hear Joes interview at 1hr 41 minutes.

Start your weekend with the big stories of the day, guests and music with Lucy.

As part of Steve & John were invited to speak at the Oxfordshire Su***de prevention conference about work we are doing at The Cornermen.

As well as speaking ourselves, it was a privilege to hear from the many other outstanding organisations and individuals working in the field of su***de prevention and research.

The refreshed Oxfordshire Su***de Multi-Agency Group’s Su***de Prevention and Self Harm Strategy 2025-2030, was also launched at the event, held at Kings centre in Oxford.

…also thanks to Oxford Untied midfielder Will Vaulks for the picture that he let Steve take, to send on The Cornermen WhatsApp group for all the U’s fans on there 💪😉

Steve is stood holding The Cornermen flag with Luke, who is climbing Kilamanjaro next month and hopes to raise some money for us.
Luke said he wanted to raise something for The Cornermen as he has used the service for a number of years and so we are very close to his heart.

He is likewise very close to ours and we have seen him climb many mountains both mental and physical over the years and very proud to be in his Corner 💪👊

If you can help Luke reach his target then please do. Link below
