Men’s Mental Health Fundraising
Join us in making a real difference for men who need it most. The more we raise, the faster we can develop and share our suicide intervention tools with people at risk.

What’s Men’s Minds Matter’s Purpose?
Men’s Minds Matter has been raising awareness about male suicide, providing resources and support for over a decade.
Every two hours, a man dies by suicide. We exist to change that. Our mission is to equip people with the knowledge and tools to face life’s challenges, to see their potential, and to come out the other side healthier, happier, and alive.
Our work, alongside other individuals and organisations, has brought male suicide (and suicide more generally) into focus and helped get the male gender recognised as an at-risk group in the National Suicide Prevention Strategy.
In 2016, we shifted our focus to developing psychological interventions for people at risk of suicide. In 2021, we launched the Men’s Minds Matter Model of Psychological Entrapment and Suicidal Crisis (PESC-M). This is used to train clinicians, giving them a framework to assess and formulate interventions for people who are actively suicidal.
This is the only model of its kind which captures the suicidal experience in its entirety. It’s already saving lives in the therapy room, but we know we’re just getting started. The model defines the psychological mechanisms that lead to and maintain suicidal thoughts, planning and intentions to act. It’s like a map which can be used to help people find a way out of psychological entrapment and suicidal crisis.
Our aim is to reach as many people as possible with our intervention through our digital platforms, training and direct support. We use the money from fundraisers like you for this. Without you, we wouldn’t be able to continue with this work.

Where Does Your Mental Health Fundraising Money Go?
We want to make our intervention tools freely available to people who are suicidal.
We use all the money raised by our fundraisers to develop our intervention tools. Although we are currently supported by volunteers, we do need to bring in specialist skills and knowledge to achieve our ambitions and progress our projects. Below are some examples of how we make use of the money we raise and the estimated costs that we would need to raise to make them a reality.
