Public benefits:
The direct benefits flowing from the purpose of Men's Alliance is to promote the advancement of mental health
in the
popuiatlon of Men who have experienced, or are experien¢ing* domestic abuse.
We believe the Impact domestic abuse has on indlviduals Is a public health issue. We minimise suffering and
promote tha mental and physical health of any adult male who asks for support. We use active listening support and
give practical advice which resear¢h shows is very important to men in crisls, and we a(so refer to our own
¢ounselling service.
Our online. Facebook. private peer support group network demonstrates the power of sharing experiences with
others who understand whatyou have gone through and provides connection and a place of solidarity. This benefit is
clearly shown by the number of men who join and remain in the group and by the many men who frequently engag8
The benefits from our purpose are demonstrated by the recording of statistlC5 and figures that will show how much
support has been provided to men who otherwise may have used statutory services or not sought help due to a
perceived lack of Services.
The benefits of counselling are measured using a well-being scale taken before and after the work is carried out. This
gives a clear indication of the male's level of improvement and provides vital data to identify strengths and
weaknesses In the service so that these can be worked on and improved.
The benefit of our MANI peer support is clearly shown by the number of men who join and remain in the group and by
the many men who frequently engage in both offering and looking for support.
There is no harm arising from any of the purposes of the charity directly or indirectly. The beneficiaries of the Charity
are male victims of domestic abuse commonly suffering from mental health issues who require help and support.
With the exception of training for counsellors. which is incidental and necessary, there is no private benefit flowing
from any ofthe purposes.

Report of the Trustees
For the year Ended 31 March 2025
Also provided is a telephone listening service for help and support. and a MENtor project where peers are trained to
provide Mentorship to men in need.
The Men's Alliance 81so provide support to men in crisis in relation to housing and legal advice, guiding them to
services that are available and advocating for them where necessary. and supporting them through a system where
all too often they have little knowledge and no experience of how to make an approach and get the best help
available.
The Men's Alliance are working towards a long-term project to provide residential therapeutic support for male
victims of domestic abuse where currently none exists in Northern Ireland. Currently we advocate for Crisis Care for
men with Government Departments, stressing the need to provide them with both housing and complete wrap
around care which will help them to recover from their abuse.
Men's Alliance INI) Chairperson Report: For 2024-25
Dear All
I would like to present the Chairpersons Report. giving an insight into the service and supportwe have provided to
men facing domestic abuse. false allegations and forced separation (Alienation) from their children.
Service Impact Numbers:
Social Media engagement is keyto Men's Alliance activities and raising awareness of the issues the men thattrust us
to support and advise them face. In the year 2024 to 2025 there have been in excess of 3,000,000 views of our Social
media accounts, with 200,000 engagements. comments. likes and shares. The support continues to build with in
excess of 30,000 followers across all our Social Media Platforms and areas.
The MANI Support Group network also continues to grow across all areas of the UK and Ireland, with a total of 4550
members {4264 men and 286 women). In Northern Ireland with 1605 members alone there are around 450 men per
day engaging with the group. these are the men and women that Men's Alliance is here to support. as they or their
loved ones travel through theirjourney of abuse and recovery, we help smooth the trip with solid advice and 24hr
support based on ourown lived experiences.
Support has also been extended on a 1-2-1 basis to 330 individuals who have contacted us through messenger, email
or online form. This is both men and women. with the later searching for advice on howto help their brothers, new
partners, dads and relatives. This support is normally provided bytelephone on the same day as the request is
received, giving advice, a listening ear and where appropriate direction to other resources available. This same day
response is important to us. as one of our core beliefs is that when a man reaches out for help he has most likely
considered it for quite some time. and he needs it NOW. not at the end of a waiting list.
Support:
In the real world we have started workingwith another charity. on theirwooded land in Annalong in the Mourne
Mountains. This benefits then through helpingthem maintain the site, and helps the men we support in getting into
the fresh air, and making connections with other men in the same situations. We have seen upto 20 men attend
these fortnightly events, to take on a project of theirovm. workwith others in a team. just sit in the outdoors- or enjoy
a BBQ when the weather co-operatesl
These support avenues have allowed us to engage with men as they progress from having depression. anxiety.
suicidal thoughts. low self-esteem. minimal child contact and as they grow in confidence after abuse. to outgoing
confident individuals with shared custody orextensive contact with their children. Many of these men remain in our
support groups, and offer advice and help to others who have onlyjust commenced their journey. MANI is a huge
community of men, offering peer supportwithout judgement.
Importantly the help we offer is at a time when it is needed most. when it is asked for. The feedback from the groups is
always positive about the communitythat is there and help offered. we change men's minds as victims of abuse from
"l am alone, no one believes me" to"1 am believed and supported."

Awareness:
The highlight of the year was ourwomen's March For Men in November. in the leadup to International Mens Day. This
was a world first march, with women who are supporting men in their lives through abuse, women who have lost men
to suicide due to domestic abuse. and women who have lost men to domestic homicides alljoining to march through
the middle of Belfast Citycentre. The response from the public. and media interest raised was invaluable. again
helping us to raise awareness of the issues faced by men who have experienced domestic abuse.
Challenges:
Challenges remain with all ourvolunteers. many ofwhom have full-timejobs also, but commit what they can to
helping others and supporting them in their specialist areas, be it legal. soci81 services. benef its or general advice.
They do it solely because they have been there too.
We continue to face struggles in how we are perceived as an organisation, we work hard within our Support groups
and successfully ensure all group rules are followed. with a zero-tolerance stance taken on any breaches especially
around misogyny.
Unfortunately, over the years many Men's Organisations. and individuals, have done a lot of damage to how men's
groups are perceived, and this is now used by others across the sectorto damage efforts made to provide support to
men, because we raise awareness for the issues men are facing. We nowfeel it necessaryto state this in all meetings
we attend, we are not misogynistic as accused by some. Manywomen's Organisations. Men's Organisations and
those that provide support to both Women and Men happilyworkwith us. they are the ones that show the real spirit of
co-operation, and focus on what we are all about- the victimswe support.

Report of the Trustees
For the year Ended 31 March 2025
Thanks to Volunteers and supporters:
The support we offerto men who are quite possiblyatthe worst time of their lives would not be possible without the
amazing team ofvolunteers that support us. I would like to take this opportunityto thank everyone of them for their
commitment to Men's Alliance, we could not do itwithout them.
To all our online supporters and followers we have to extend thanks for encouraging us in carrying on with our
advocacy and support. you motivate us every day.
As every year l am proud to be associated with the men ofThe Men's Alliance and the MANI Support Groups. and the
amazing and positive impact on the men we support. We hear time and again the stories of men who have made it
through their abuse to a happier life and even where children are involved regained contact, it is a privilege to be part
of their journey.
