As volunteers week draws to the end.

I would just like to thank the volunteers who started Andy's Man Club Hartlepool and helped build it from one club to many across the North East. I also want to thank those who have helped us switch to ManHealth. Who serve their fellow men week after week, making a massive difference in so many lives.

To Bob, Stephen, Richard, you are absolute legends for your help and support. I don't think you will ever know the full difference you have made in so many lives.

To Iain, thank you for all your help and support. For the work you put in, and the work you still do.

Thank you all :)

This Thursday marks the 1 year anniversary of ManHealth Hartlepool. Before the switch we were heading up Andy's Man Club Hartlepool from its beginning in Oct 2017. 2 great organisations with slightly different emphasis on helping men who are struggling with a wide range of issues.

If you need a space to talk and be listened to, check out Andy's Man Club. Monday's 7pm Hartlepool rugby club.

If you would like something a bit more practical and still have space to open and share, come to ManHealth, Hartlepool United FC, Centenary Lounge, 6:30pm

Both services are free and offer free refreshments :)

Please share, thank you.

You are needed, you are wanted, you are loved.

Today is ⁠⁠. Many Gothamites in this Batman community and around the world struggle with mental health issues, such as anxiety and depression, that can make their personal universe even more difficult to handle. If you feel alone or are suffering, please don’t forget that all of you are strong and fantastic individuals that deserve happiness and respect. Never lose sight of the fact that the world and this community need you and it wouldn’t be the same without you. Us fans are united and you are never alone! Love yourself & others Gothamites.✌🏽🤍🦇
