On Wednesday this week, we were joined by #ANDYSMANCLUB#ANDYSMANCLUB; a men’s suicide prevention and mental health charity. The visit formed part of our International Men’s Day celebrations, as Jacob sharratt who works on Project Development at Andy’s Man Club, spoke to our colleagues about who the charity are, how they first came about, and the free support they provide both online and via help groups located all over the UK. It was really fantastic hearing about the work they do to eliminate the stigma surrounding mental health, and the space they create so men can be open about any challenges they may be facing. As well as thanking Andy’s Man Club again, we’d like to say a big thanks to our Colleague Engagement Forum for organising such a fantastic session, and give a special call out to Stephen Maidens, one of our underwriters, for bravely speaking out about your personal story. By doing so, you’re encouraging other colleagues to reach out and join in on the important conversation! #ITSOKTOTALK #IMD24 #CloseBrothersMotorFinance #CloseBrothers

This month is #Movember and today is #InternationalMensDay so to mark the occasion, a number of activities have been planned. Through these celebrations, we hope to promote conversations about men and masculinity and make a positive difference to the wellbeing of men and boys. Later this week, Close Brothers will be hosting a panel discussion and ‘facts and snacks’ session where the focus is on how the expectations for men have changed over time and generations. Then next Wednesday, here at #CloseBrothersMotorFinance specifically, we’ll be joined by #ANDYSMANCLUB; a men’s suicide prevention and mental health charity. They’ll be talking to colleagues about the free support they provide online and via help groups located across the UK. To challenge stereotypes and showcase the diversity, authenticity, and humour of modern masculinity, a number of our male colleagues have kindly shared statements about what it means to be a man today. Why not take a look? https://lnkd.in/efqHst4S #ITSOKTOTALK #IMD24 #CloseBrothers
