Achievements and Performance
SORP reference
| Summary of the main achievements of the charity, identifying the diference the charity’s work has made to the circumstances of its benefciaries and any wider benefts to society as a whole. |
Para 1.20 | a) Our weekly peer support groups continue to ofer a safe space and a non- judgemental environment for men to open up and support each other with their struggles. This has benefted society further by supporting those in need and kept them from reaching a crisis point which may in turn result in hospitalisation. b) The free online mental health awareness coaching delivered throughout the recent lockdown has continued in a face to face setting and has provided attendees with an understanding of mental health and how to support those around them. This has achieved a positive impact on the lives of those directly linked to those who attended our sessions c) Workplace and sports clubs mental health drop in sessions have provided a safe environment for people to open up and talk to about how they feel. These have been an invaluable resource for managers and senior volunteers to help provide support and it has proven to be a strong pathway to people receiving the support they require. d) Throughout this period we consistently delivered public mental health awareness campaigns both online and in person. These have helped to spread positivity amongst the community and to help provide education on mental ill health to break down the stigma that surrounds it. e) The Tough Truck has become a household name within communities that we |

support and works well to encourage conversations everywhere it goes. It has also become very popular with local sports clubs to have the vehicle attend sporting events to promote health conversations about mental health within their club/community. f) The Free text support service launched mid way through this reporting period has been extremely popular when talking to people about the services and we hope this will become evident when we receive our service report in the summer.
