Supporting Men's Mental Health
Bolton Manbassadors is a men's mental health project delivered by Be One Homes.
They want to normalise conversations around mental health, remove the stigma, and support men to get the support they need. The aims of the project are to:
- Raise awareness locally of the mental health issues facing men.
- Grow a network of local organisations across Bolton acting as menโs health advocates โ Manbassadors โ 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.
8 GoodGymers have supported Bolton Manbassadors with 1 task.

We're on a roll ๐ซ

As part of Men's Health Week, we headed to Little Lever this week to support Bolton Manbassadors, a local men's health project.
After a 5K run in the baking heat from our meeting place at Bolton One, we set to work with painting the walls in, what will be known as, The Living Room - a space that will be used by Bolton Manbassadors to support men's mental health.
There was a bumper attendance as we welcomed Susan, Geoff and Sarah for their first taste of GoodGym, Saf returned for a second week in a row and Steph, Mark and TaskForce member Mumtaz joined us for more good deeds!
60 minutes of painting x 8 GoodGym'ers = 8 hours of support for a great local project ๐ช
Next week we're bashing some more balsam ๐ฑ, do join us!
