Andy's Man Club

 We are talking groups for men (18+). Andys Man Club started off as one group in the small, northern town of Halifax. That first night 9 men turned up and spoke. There was a magic in that room that everyone knew had to be shared. We knew other guys across the country needed this same experience. We have worked tirelessly through Andys memory to grow our clubs.


We are open for face to face meetings every Monday (except bank holidays) at 7pm and currently have 35 groups across England and Scotland.


We also have a national online group every Monday at 7pm for those outside of our catchment areas. For information about how to book on to one of our sessions, either in person or online, please send an email to info@andysmanclub.co.uk and our team will be able to assist

Child Death Helpline

 At the Child Death Helpline we’re here to listen. 


We understand that the death of a child is one of the most devastating events that anyone may experience. 


Sometimes the feelings of grief can be so overwhelming that they make everyday living very difficult – we’re here to help. 


Our dedicated helpline offers support to anyone affected by the death of a child of any age, under any circumstances, however recent or long ago. 


Your call will be answered by a trained volunteer who has also lost a child and understands the feelings that surround the death of a child.
