Boys Get Sad Too - CALM
Outside of my full time job, I run a small project that I don't market on here that has over the years enabled me to raise funds to support various charities. Predominantly I have supported ones associated to Organ Donation in memory of my wonderful Mum, however, in recent years I have swayed more towards those affected by mental and physical abuse.
In the last year or 2 I have focused a lot more on men’s mental health, the reason being that 98% of my online followers are stereotypical macho men and those who will commonly experience mental health issues.
I’m continuing to raise awareness of @andysmanclub with my upcoming campaign but having found out about Boys Get Sad Too and CALM (The Campaign Against Living Miserably) they are both worthy causes that I wanted to highlight.
I first found out about CALM through Boys Get Sad Too, a unisex lifestyle brand that I have been following for quite some time who are based around a community of like-minded people who want to see a positive change in the world when it comes to Mental Health. CALM work as a leading movement against suicide, every week in the UK 125 people take their own lives and 75% of them are male. They exist to change this.
Boys Get Sad Too are official supporters of CALM and donate 10% of their profits to them while they actively work to try and raise awareness of the struggles that men face and what support is out there for them.
If you would like to support BGST, CALM or Andy's Man Club or simply feel that you could benefit from their services yourself, then head over to the following websites to find out more information:
