LADbible features Yorkshire support group in emotional video broadcast to 39 million followers

An award-winning mental health group which provides a valuable lifeline to hundreds of men in the UK has been broadcast to almost 40 million across the world.

Andy's Man Club was established in Halifax, West Yorkshire, in 2016 by rugby league player Luke Ambler after his brother-in-law, Andy Roberts, took his own life.

The first support group was set up to help men open up about their feelings and new branches were soon established all over West Yorkshire.

There are now dozens of Andy's Man Club branches all over the UK, with hundreds of men accessing their services every single week.

Andy's Man Club features on LADbible

LeedsLive first featured the group in its award-winning Untold Stories documentary series in early 2019 - and now LADbible have put a similarly emotional feature together.

'Andy's Man Club - A Place Where It's Okay To Talk' was shared to LADbible's 39 million Facebook followers on Sunday, March 22.

The video features interviews with Luke, various members of Andy's Man Club and Andy's mum, Elaine Roberts.

The group held trial meetings online this week and will continue to run sessions remotely to provide support to hundreds of members during the coronavirus pandemic.
