        Vicky  Bellinger  lost  her  brother  in  2018  to
        suicide.


        Realising  that  there  were  many  men  –  both
        young and old – with mental health challenges
        Vicky  decided  to  start  fundraising  for
        ANDYSMANCLUB.


        Since  then,  European  WaterCare  has  backed
        her  on  this,  and  they  have  chosen  to  make
        them their Charity of the year. Vicky said, “We
        will  do  different  fund-raising  events  over  the
        coming  year  to  raise  money  for  such  a  good
        cause, and spread awareness of Men's Mental
        health issues, letting men know that it's ok not

        to be ok and it's ok to talk”.

        Luke lost his brother-in-law to suicide and felt
        something needed to be done, Luke’s aim was
        to in 5 years have 10 clubs in and around the
        north of the UK, but in 5 years they have 112            You can read more about this excellent men’s
