Charity fundraising for Men’s Minds Matter
Today, we are excited to share with you a cause close to our hearts and an upcoming event that reflects our commitment to making a positive impact in memory of our esteemed colleague and friend, Jonny.
Our team is gearing up to face the challenge of Tough Mudder on Saturday, April 6th, 2024, to raise funds and support Men's Minds Matter, a cause we hold dear. Jonny's recent passing has left a void in our team, and in his honour, we are dedicating our efforts to Men's Minds Matter at the forefront of our 2024 fundraising initiatives. We believe these efforts will contribute significantly to the vital work undertaken by this organisation.
What Is Tough Mudder?
Tough Mudder is not just an obstacle course; it's a challenge that pushes participants to their limits, testing strength, stamina, and mental grit. As the premier challenge series globally, it has attracted millions of participants who embrace the opportunity to conquer hardcore obstacles and overcome personal barriers.
What is Men’s Minds Matter?
Men’s Minds Matter is dedicated to tackling male suicide through specialised interventions and awareness campaigns. The charity is committed to tackling male suicide directly, providing support and raising awareness to make a positive impact on the lives of men facing these challenges.
Here are the alarming statistics highlighting the urgent need for such efforts:
- Men currently make up 76% of all suicides in the UK
- On average, more than 13 men a day take their own lives.
- 80% of street homeless rough sleepers are male.
- The vast majority of the prison population is male.
- There are significantly higher rates of substance abuse and dependence in men.
- 79% of drug-related deaths are male.
- Men are more likely than women to die prematurely across all age groups.
- The outward expression of male distress causes significant problems for other men, women, and children.
- Men are also more likely than women to be victims of violent crime.
So, How Can We Prevent The Above?
The charity aims to address these issues head-on, providing support and raising awareness to make a positive impact on the lives of men facing these challenges.
