He says: "I've been there for three weeks now, done my first one-to-one today and got a whole load of stuff off my chest that I've been trying to get off since I was 15."I've only been in my head myself," he says. "That can be a very dangerous game."Men Matter Scotland was launched in 2019 to promote wellbeing and prevent suicide. Since then, it has supported more than 1,700 men through weekly group sessions and activities, including one-to-one peer support.
"I call it a fight. It's always a war against suicide and I always think that we just need to keep on soldiering on." "I started sitting in and I had a lightbulb moment. That's when I went 'oh, I could be doing with a bit of what they're doing here'."Andy has also benefited from the group work. "We've got moving-forward coaching, mindset coaching, resilience coaching, mental health matters, yoga. Wim Hof as well - don't know if you've heard of the ice man? We do cold water therapy."Overseeing the charity's work is Fraser Devine."I believe I'm here to do something and this is what I do."
For the street team project, it was Drumchapel High School pupils who provided the £3,000 needed to get the project off the ground.
