Are you missing out on mates time?
Launching on World Suicide Prevention Day - 10th September
Follow the Leader is a new app designed to help men of a certain age who find it hard to commit to seeing their old mates as often as they should. The app is simple to use with each month one of your group randomly selected to be the leader. It's then down to the leader to organise where you're going, what time you're meeting and what you'll do. During your trips out the Leader that month will earn credits by 'Checking In' to the venues you visit and credits mean prizes!
​
The app has been developed with our Man Made project group.

how best mates meet
Creative Frame CIC are determined to do everything we can to reduce male suicides in this country. We have been working in this field for over 5 years now, running male suicide prevention groups and activities for men and have seen the benefits socialising and routine has on the wellbeing of our group members. Often our group members are men who have considered or attempted to end their lives by suicide. The Follow the Leader App is designed to take on the heavy lifting that comes with what should be a simple task but one that men struggle with as we get older and especially as we approach middle age which is the age that most deaths by suicide occur in males (45 to 55). We need to end this trend that sees men being 3 times more likely to end their lives by suicide than women. Men are just a bit crap when it comes to getting together so Follow the Leader is another response of ours designed to help save lives and get men over that hurdle of doing something they know they should do more of but find it hard to find the time.
