Our
Projects

Man Made is our Creative Advocacy project for men who are isolated and at risk of suicide in Leeds. We offer a wide variety of groups as a direct result of asking men what they want to do and facilitating groups on their behalf.

​

Our mission is  to:

• Raise awareness locally of the mental health issues facing men.

• Help men to access the local services and support they require on issues that impact on their mental health.

• Develop a network of free to access men's social and community activities across Leeds creating safe spaces for men to be able to talk to one another about mental health.

Janette Hynes MBE leads our North Yorkshire campaigns and group activities with the support of Simon Thurlow who is an expert at documenting the voices of our participats through photography, film and audio testimony.
