Aims and activities
Men live shorter lives than women and are disproportionately affected by cancer, cardiovascular disease and suicide. Men who are poorer and more marginalised are impacted the most. We want to change this.
The Government has recently announced that it will develop the first ever men’s health strategy – and they are calling for evidence to support a consultation before July 17th.
As we have over a decade of experience working with a variety of men through our work with hundreds of grassroots community organisations, we will be submitting key evidence to the Government as experts in this space.
To gather this evidence, we will be running a series of Men Talk events across the country to give men from all backgrounds the opportunity to share where they struggle most with health and wellbeing, and what they think can be done to change things for good – because we know how critical it is that any conversation about health issues impacting men places men at the centre.
This is a once in a decade opportunity to pave the way for delivering real change in the men’s health space, to come together and advocate for the men in all our lives – our grandads, husbands, partners, dads, brothers, sons and nephews – who deserve to live longer lives in good health.
We must act quickly ahead of the July 17th deadline.
How to get involved
We are seeking to bring together a partnership of funders to match fund to support this vital piece of research. We are also interested in continuing the work with other funders beyond the Government's call for evidence deadline.
Contact People's Health Trust at enquiries@peopleshealthtrust.org.uk to discuss how we can work together to stop men dying too young.
Who's involved
Who was involved
A survey is being shared with our 600 members of our Network of expert grassroots organisations across the country, all of which work with communities experiencing social and financial disadvantage, at the front line of addressing health inequality, marginalisation and discrimination. We will also bring together focus groups of partners from different regions of the country and conduct 1-1 interviews to understand the issues in more depth.
