⚔️Su***de prevention day⚔️⁣
⁣
𝗔𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱 𝟯 𝗶𝗻 𝟰 people who die by su***de are 𝗺𝗲𝗻.⁣
⁣
Su***de is one of the biggest causes of death for 𝗺𝗲𝗻 𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝟱𝟬.⁣
⁣
And we know that loneliness matters.⁣
⁣
The Government’s Men’s Health Strategy identifies loneliness as a significant risk factor for su***de, particularly through feelings of not belonging, being a burden and lacking caring relationships. (GOV.UK)⁣
⁣
But here’s the bit that matters.⁣
⁣
Men need somewhere to belong.⁣
⁣
Not another lecture.⁣
⁣
Not someone telling them to “𝘮𝘢𝘯 𝘶𝘱”.⁣
⁣
Not necessarily sitting opposite someone asking, “𝘏𝘰𝘸 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘧𝘦𝘦𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘨?”⁣
⁣
Sometimes it starts with something much simpler.⁣
⁣
Turn up.⁣
⁣
Train together.⁣
⁣
Play football.⁣
⁣
Have a laugh.⁣
⁣
Grab a coffee.⁣
⁣
Talk sh*t.⁣
⁣
Talk about life.⁣
⁣
Build friendships.⁣
⁣
And when one of the lads isn't himself, someone notices.⁣
⁣
Because you don't always need to know exactly what to say.⁣
⁣
Sometimes you just need to know who to call.⁣
⁣
That is what brotherhood is about.⁣
⁣
Creating spaces where men don't have to carry everything on their own.⁣
⁣
Where the strong can support those struggling.⁣
⁣
And where the bloke who looks like he's got everything together knows that he's got people around him too.⁣
⁣
3 in 4.⁣
⁣
That's not just a statistic.⁣
⁣
They're fathers.⁣
⁣
Sons.⁣
⁣
Brothers.⁣
⁣
Husbands.⁣
⁣
Friends.⁣
⁣
And they're someone's mate.⁣
⁣
Connection matters.⁣
⁣
Belonging matters.⁣
⁣
Brotherhood matters.⁣
⁣
That's why we do what we do.⁣

☀️ GYM UPDATE - SUMMER HOLIDAYS ☀️

As we head into the summer holidays, you [our members] may notice that there will be some temporary adjustments to our timetables.

We may take a little longer to reply to messages, arrange meetings, etc. throughout the next months too.

As a family-run gym, we absolutely love what we do and we will be doing our best to ensure we can do as much as we can in the gym, however, it is also very important that we give time to our young family too.

We appreciate your understanding and support with this.

Thank you.

Brydie and Pete
