Roger Little: Community & Fundraising Lead
Roger, affectionately known as our "little Santa Claus," is crucial in bringing in the funding we need.
Subscriptions alone aren't enough, and his efforts help secure the necessary resources to support our community's activities and growth.
Inspired by purpose, driven by community
Our trustees are inspired to combat isolation, help men regain a sense of purpose, and create a comfortable space to discuss their health and well-being. These community-driven workshops provide a camaraderie-focused environment where men can socialise while "working shoulder-to-shoulder" on practical activities.
They provide a small sanctuary for men to attend without bias or worry about the political correctness that they would need if women attended. This unique space allows for genuine connection and shared experiences.
