Lad's Army

***WE NEED YOU***

We've got so many projects and events that we want to run but we just simply cannot do it without your help!

Donations are the lifeblood of any charity and Lad's Army is no different! To helping us with venue costs, to huge projects, every penny gained through your kind donations goes a long way to helping us fulfill our promise to men struggling with their mental health!

There's numerous ways you can donate. Simply buy us a coffee! Or find us on PayPal! Or get in touch if these aren't possible for you and we'll find a way! Links below 👇 THANK YOU 💙💙

Massive thank you to The Stoke-on-Trent Lead for helping us to spread the word of what we do 💙

“The aim of Lad's Army is to build a community of men who support each other through good and bad times."

This week's newsletter shines a spotlight on efforts to build communities for men to talk through their problems outside of the traditional arenas of work, the pub or sports fields.

Our peer support meetings are back this week! Please note the change of day to every other Wednesday. Hopefully by doing this we'll get more men through the door to support. Please share far and wide! 💙

Dates of the upcoming meetings are:
13th March
27th March
10th April 💙

Apologies everyone no meeting tonight. Childcare issues. Facebook group is still alive and kicking, you can also join one of our WhatsApp groups if you'd like. Just drop the page a message and I'll get you in 💙

Tonight 18.30 💙💙

Now it's the New Year, we've got so many different plans that we're working hard on! Football sessions, possible charity match, meetings, podcast and so much more. Unfortunately all this costs money! We're doing our best but we can only survive with the help of your generous donations! Feel free to use the Buy Me a Coffee link or donate via our PayPal [email protected]
Any amount is greatly appreciated and goes a long way to supporting men with their mental health 💙💙

***No meeting tonight guys, venue is closed over the Xmas period***

"Lean on me, when you're not strong"

Such amazing lyrics especially at this time of year. Let's get this shared far and wide and let people know they don't need to be alone this Christmas 💙

For the price for a coffee you can donate to us and help to support men struggling with their mental health. It's a difficult time of year for some so if we can help in any way then we will 💙

Lots going on behind the scenes at the moment, including getting our weekly football sessions set up! Like most charities we're very small and have very very limited funds!!

Evening all, Lad's Army is asking for your help! To continue the great work we do, we are in need of your donations to help us progress! As with anything, the ongoing costs of running a charity are constant! We are currently in the process of trying to sort out football sessions for our men and would love to be able to offer them for free! Donations can be made through Buy Me a Coffee.com (link below) or via PayPal ( [email protected] )

Thank you!! 💙💙

New venue tomorrow fellas 💙

Afternoon all! So as you know we're struggling for a venue for tonight! We should be sorted for next week but for tonight I'm going to suggest we meet in the Spoons car park? Down the back just as you come in off the road. Then we can sit in the outdoor bit if possible or even inside, or go for walk etc, whatever we want. It's not idea but like I said we should be all sorted for next week! If you've got any issues or feel like this may trigger any anxiety etc please please feel free to message me and we'll try nd work something out 💙💙

Meeting on tonight fellas 💙

Massive thank you to Vulcan for the very generous donation. The money will go towards getting us registered as a CIC and towards the cost of meetings. Thank you so much 🙏💙

A MASSIVE well done to Peter King who submitted Ben Nevis on behalf of us and Mind Over Mountains last weekend solo! Huge effort brother! Let's get some ideas for the next fundraiser and get a group of us this time! 💙

Hi everyone, I've made a public page for Lad's Army for a couple of reasons. I want to grow the page as much as possible and to do that I thought it would be a good idea to share some of the things we do within the community, what we do in terms of meetings and events etc and just to continue spreading the word. So please like the page and invite your friends!!

***MEN: no personal information, names or stories from within the private group and WhatsApp group will be shared, ever 💙
