Help and support is available for all who are struggling. Andys Man Club Whitby

💬 Whitby – Monday Night Recap 💬
Last night, 22 men walked through the doors 💪 — 1 for the very first time! 🙌

That’s 22 blokes choosing to show up, open up, and support one another. Each story shared, each nod of understanding, and each bit of encouragement makes a massive difference.

To the new lad — welcome to the family. You’ve taken a huge step, and we’re proud of you. 👏

To everyone who keeps showing up week after week — you’re the heartbeat of this club. ❤️
Remember…

👉 It’s OK to talk.
👉 It’s OK to not be OK.
👉 And no matter what — you’re never alone.

See you next Monday, lads. Same time, same place.

Grief can feel incredibly isolating – but you don’t have to go through it alone. Our Whitby Peer Support Group will meet every month to share stories, coping strategies and support each other, alongside experienced mental health support and advice from SWR Mind staff.
