🖤 Check On Your Mates 🖤

Every day, too many men carry heavy thoughts in silence. The pressure to appear strong, to not open up, to “just get on with it” — it’s costing lives.

At ‘you alright chief?’, we’re here to say:
You don’t have to pretend. You don’t have to struggle alone.

💬 Talk to someone.
🫂 Reach out to a mate.
📞 Ask twice — once for manners, once for meaning.

Our group was created to break down the stigma and make it normal for blokes to talk, laugh, listen, and support one another. Whether it’s at quiz night, a meet-up at the pub, or just a quiet chat — we’re building a community that’s rooted in care and connection.

👉 If you’re reading this and you’re not feeling yourself — please don’t suffer in silence.
You matter. You’re valued. And we’ve got you.

🚨 New Podcast Episode – about ‘you alright chief?’ and Ellison Evoke Talking Football ! 🎙️

I was recently invited onto the Light of Wisdom podcast to chat all things ‘you alright chief?’ — the movement we’ve built to support men’s mental health through real talk, connection, and community.

• The power of honest conversations
• Why local leagues like Evoke Ellison are more than just sport
• How ‘you alright chief?’ is opening doors for men to speak up and support each other

🧠 Do men talk about their mental health?
The stats say yes—but there’s still a long way to go.

🔹 71% of men would talk to someone
🔹 45% would speak to their GP
🔹 26% (ages 16–24) would talk to close family
🔹 25% (ages 25–34) would contact a counselling hotline

These numbers are encouraging, but they also remind us how many men still feel isolated or unsure where to turn. That’s why ‘you alright chief?’ exists — to make it easier to have a chat, connect with others, and not carry the weight alone.

Whether it’s around a table, over a pint, or at one of our events — a simple “you alright, chief?” could be the start of something that makes a real difference.

👀 This month’s event details are coming later this week — keep your eyes peeled and come join us. It’s a space to unwind, connect, and remember you’re never on your own.
