Bolton Manbassadors

We are immensely proud to support this award-winning men's mental health project delivered by Bolton at Home.

The Bolton Manbassadors project aims 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 who look out for and speak with their clients.

– 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. If you would like to volunteer to support the Manbassadors project as an individual, send us an email at boltonmanbassadors@boltonathome.org.uk.
