Bolton Manbassadors is an award-winning** men's mental health project delivered by Be One Homes:
- It’s okay to find things difficult, and you don’t have to go through it on your own.
If you’re struggling, our Bolton Manbassadors project is here to listen and help you find the support that feels right for you. We want to:
- Raise awareness locally of the mental health issues facing men.
- Grow a network of local organisations across Bolton acting as men’s health advocates – Manbassadors – who look out for and speak with their customers.
- Help men engage with other services that can support their mental health.
- Develop a network of men's social and community activities across Bolton, creating safe spaces for men to be able to talk about mental wellbeing.
Following in the footsteps of the Orion Partnership’s ‘Manbassadors’ project in Leeds, Bolton Manbassadors are looking to take a different approach in engaging men, normalising conversations around mental health, removing the stigma, and supporting men to get the support they need.
We’re still working on this page. In the meantime, please check out our Bolton Manbassadors Padlet (below) for the latest updates and contact details from the project team:
