Our aims are to:

Improve the status of male and female health.
Encourage people to take responsibility for their health and well-being.
Reduce preventable disease, injury, disability, and premature death including suicide.
Reduce the impact of alcohol and drug abuse.
Enhance a sense of well-being and social connectedness.
Reduce incidences of loneliness, isolation and all aspects of poverty.

We achieve these aims by:

Developing partnership initiatives with key agencies, organisations, and community groups.
Significantly increasing the number of people participating in health and wellbeing activities.
Developing an active Advisory Group, consisting of twelve representatives from all our groups, that consults with their community to identify real and current needs.
Increasing the number of people accessing and participating in community support services and health promotion activities. Throughout all our activities, we foster and promote personal development by delivering activities that aim to produce positive health and wellbeing outcomes. All our activities are free, and where appropriate, food and refreshments are also provided.

How we achieve these aims

We believe that health programmes and messages need to journey to where men are already gathering, in places such as the workplace, community events or festivals, the pub or sporting venues etc. Research suggests that men tend to engage more in health promotion events when they are attached to other events or places that they are already involved with.
