The MAN UP? challenge is a campaign for men with the help of many others who have already jumped at the chance to join forces,  for the good of the community.

We have liaised with schools, council’s, police and businesses so we can work together to pull off one of the most significant and different male mental health awareness campaigns within the UK,  to our knowledge, this has never been done before.

We are looking to reach out to males who may be suffering in silence. We’re looking to encourage males who are putting on a front to their friends and family,  while secretly hating themselves on the inside.

Let’s face facts,  men are absolute rubbish about being honest with their emotions or what’s going on inside their heads…we are rubbish at it.

Society, for years, has kept telling men to “man up” which indirectly has caused men of all ages to have issues with their mental health.

We want to help change that, and those helping us are making this happen in a big way!

We would like to invite any male,  from any background, race or religion. We do not care if you an accountant,  bin man or one of the world’s richest men…. we are merely asking you to come and join up to 1000 other men to go and put their hand up in a photo  to tell other men that is ok to have mental issues, which is quite simply, it is ok!

The main organiser is Daniel Somers from SEOmers. Please contact him directly with any questions via our Facebook Event Page.
