November is Men’s Mental Health Month, so I wanted to share the real side of it.

Behind the smiling photos, mountain days, football and helping others, I have my own inner demons too. Looking like I’ve got everything under control doesn’t mean it’s calm inside.

These last few weeks I’ve been struggling. Overthinking everything, lying awake because my head won’t switch off, constantly on edge. Simple decisions feel ten times bigger, then I question myself afterwards. It’s fu***ng exhausting.

It isn’t all rainbows and calm waters. Sometimes it’s a fu***ng super storm tsunami.

I know these waves. I’ve ridden them before. For me, they haven’t disappeared, but I’m getting better at recognising them and knowing what I need to pour out of my cup before it spills over. I’ve spoken to my GP and I’m taking some pressure off myself.

I’m sharing this because it might help someone, not as a cry for help or attention. If I’m encouraging men to be honest about their mental health, that includes being honest about mine.

If your head’s doing laps while you’re telling everyone “yeah, all good”, you’re not alone. 🤝💚

Currently over halfway up Yr Wyddfa supporting Tom Sion Allport on the final day of his ‘Tomi 10 Tonne’ Challenge. He’s been doing 33 pull ups every day for the last 30 days with 10kg attached to him which equates to 10 tonnes lifted, finishing his last 33 on the summit carrying all the kit which weighs 40kgs up and down.

He’s doing this to raise money for Mind Cymru Mind and support his wife’s fundraising for her London marathon next year.

Any donations or words of support would be appreciated as Tom has definitely now entered the pain cave. For those that don’t know Tom he was one of the 3 who completed all 9 ascents of Yr Wyddfa during our Everest challenge this year and apparently that just wasn’t quite difficult enough for him!

Some man Tom, we’re all very proud of you brother 💚

Another night with the lads, getting out, having a laugh, getting a sweat on and checking in with each other.

It’s not about how good you are at football, it’s about turning up, being part of something and knowing you’re never on your own. 💚

No judgement, no pressure, just good lads, good laughs and looking after each other.

We keep telling men to talk. We need to make sure we’re listening.

This World Mental Health Day, the theme is “Lived experiences heard: real voices, real change.”

At MenTribe, that means listening to the bloke who says “I’m fine” because he doesn’t know where to start. The mate who’s gone quiet. The man who’s still turning up for everyone else while struggling himself.

It means giving men a say in what support looks like, and taking their experiences seriously.

That’s why we create opportunities to walk, kick a ball, get outdoors and connect. Somewhere to belong, whether you’re ready to talk or just need some company.

Today, check in on a mate. Ask how he’s really doing. Give him time to answer, without feeling you need to fix everything.

And if you’re struggling yourself, you’re welcome at MenTribe. You don’t need the right words to join us. 💚

Real voices. Real connection. Real change.

Men need your help.
Tag your local MS and demand action. 💚

We keep telling men, “It’s okay to talk.” But when a man does speak up, the right support needs to be there for him. We cannot put all the responsibility on men and leave them struggling to find help.

Movember’s new report shows that 6,793 men in Wales died before turning 75 in 2024. Su***de is the leading cause of death for men under 50. These figures affect partners, children, friends and whole communities.

Wales has a Women’s Health Plan, and rightly so. Men deserve the same serious attention. We need a dedicated, funded Men’s Health Plan for Wales that reaches men earlier and backs the services and community groups they turn to.

Tag your local Member of the Senedd and ask them: will you back this plan, and what will you do to make it happen?

A proud few days for MenTribe 💚

On Friday, MenTribe founder Callum was invited by Movember UK to speak at its fringe event during the Plaid Cymru Conference at Venue Cymru.

The panel, titled “Why the **** does Wales need a Men’s Health Plan?”, brought together MenTribe, UK Men's Sheds Association , Movember UK and Leticia Gonzalez to discuss the challenges facing men in Wales, what prevents men from accessing support and why Wales needs a dedicated Men’s Health Plan.

Today, Callum and Shaun Williams were honoured to be invited to the Senedd for the launch of Movember’s report on men’s health in Wales, alongside organisations and individuals committed to improving the lives of men across the country. It was brilliant to meet John Hartson , Matthew Johnson and so many others doing great work in this space. As always, it was lovely to bump into the Helpu Cymru team too!

These opportunities allow us to share the lived experience behind MenTribe and bring the voices of the men in our communities into the national conversation about men’s health.

Thank you to Movember UK, our fellow panellists and everyone we connected with over the past few days. We’re excited to build on these conversations and continue working together for men across Wales.

Most importantly, thank you to every man who turns up to a walk, football session or event, every volunteer who gives their time, and everyone who supports MenTribe.

You are MenTribe, and you are the reason our voice is being heard. 💚
