💙 You Alright Chief? 💙

Sometimes, life can feel heavier than we let on. No matter how strong, confident, or successful someone might seem, everyone has battles they’re fighting behind the scenes.

Men often carry the weight quietly — feeling like we have to “man up,” deal with it ourselves, or keep it bottled in. But we need to change that. Talking isn’t weakness. Reaching out for help isn’t failure. It’s courage.

If you’re struggling, please don’t sit in silence. Talk to a mate. Open up. Ask for help. You matter — more than you might ever realise.

And if you haven’t heard from one of your mates in a while, drop them a message today. A simple “You alright, chief?” could make all the difference.

🥊 Martin’s Boxing Challenge for ‘You Alright Chief?’ 💙

Our mate Martin McAnespie is stepping into the ring in just a few weeks — not just to test himself, but to raise money for ‘you alright chief?’ and the work we do in the community.

For those who don’t know us, ‘you alright chief?’ is a men’s mental health and friendship group born in Failsworth, set up in memory of our mate Bobby. We bring men together through monthly meet-ups, events, football, and new projects like ‘Alright to Chat?’ benches and pub spaces — all designed to fight loneliness, get men talking, and support each other through life’s ups and downs.

Martin is taking on this incredible challenge to help us grow these projects and keep making a difference. Every donation, no matter how big or small, goes directly into supporting men’s mental health and building a stronger, more connected community.

Let’s get behind him, show our support, and raise as much as we can to make a difference. 💙

💬 Check in on your mates – it could save a life.

Sometimes the simplest question — “Are you alright, chief?” — can make the biggest difference.

👉 Every week in the UK, 125 people die by su***de — and 75% of them are men. Too many blokes feel like they have to carry the weight alone. But reaching out, having a chat, or even just listening can be the lifeline someone needs.

👬 Don’t wait for the signs. Check in on your loud mate, your quiet mate, your “I’m always fine” mate. A small message, a quick call, or a pint together could mean more than you realise.

If you’re struggling yourself — please, don’t sit in silence.
📞 Samaritans are available 24/7 on 116 123

Let’s keep asking, let’s keep talking, and let’s keep looking out for each other. 💙
