This innovative men's mental health program has been supporting the health and wellbeing of men for over 6 years through the vibrant and genuine sense of community connectedness and belonging it cultivates among the many hundreds of men who are TGBC members. As a woman who has been watching from the sidelines, I am hugely grateful for the supportive culture this program provides men in my life and in the wider community. I have seen first-hand men reaching out to each other to support and be supported during tough times, pitching in to help a member move house, dropping off a care package to a member in hospital who might not have otherwise had visitors, checking in someone who hasn't turned up to club after a divorce. There are also the preventative interventions the program runs such as reminding and encouraging members to get health check-ups in ways that are engaging and get guys to actually go to see their GP - not an easy task!

The ability to welcome in people of all interests and backgrounds, to come together in creating a safe space for communication and support is amazing. It would be the best if the organisation was able to secure some funding and support as part of its continued growth and development.
