Our Mission

Many health conditions affect only men (or those with some/all of the male sexual organs). Yet funding for these areas in Scotland is not equal, nor has it ever been so.

Let's stop to define what male health is. Conditions that affect only males or people with male organs. We share most of our health care costs with women and children, and those costs are funded equally at the point of need. However, for many reasons, and many are indeed valid, women and children receive more than an equal share. If we are going to discuss the need to help women and children, we need to discuss the need to help men, too. It is a team game, but it is far from fair. There are almost no grants for male health projects in Scotland (please find one and tell us), but we can see many for women and children. Is that fairness? Men are contributing to these funds; can't women contribute to men's funds?

Male health encompasses a wide range of physical, mental, and social factors that contribute to men's overall well-being, longevity, and quality of life. Focusing on male-specific health issues benefits men but also has "significant" positive ripple effects on their families, communities, and the workforce. In the same way that women's health issues have a significant positive impact on men when uplifted.

Men make up half the population. Men are partners, fathers, brothers, uncles and grandfathers. Men, by and large, build the world around us. But have a lower life expectancy and pursue risky behaviour to prove masculinity. However, even though men are more robust, men still get sick in areas that they do not share with women, which are less funded and less discussed.

Men also have the worrying stats on their side, more men die of Cancer, Suicide and Heart Disease than women by as much as three times more, and it is increasing, not decreasing. Think we need to look at this?

So what can we do about this? Create our own charity for men's health in Scotland. Not just little bits like the Prostate or Mental Health, fragmenting the concept of male health, one male health condition tends to lead to another. A Prostate cancer diagnosis can lead to mental health issues. By giving Scotland a champion for men's health, we can positively support the whole, not just little parts scrambling to put them together in ad hoc ways. There is plenty of the other stuff, but only we do male health in Scotland this way.

Simply put, we exist to help men with their health. Not Women. Not children. We, of course, support men in their lives, but we do not help them directly. We help just men, those transitioning to being a man and those with male sexual organs. That is all. We help only men, and we are not apologising for it when there are countless women's and children's charities out there who support the other part of the team.

We will captivate and enlighten with dynamic presentations that inform, inspire action, and spark curiosity. Scottish organisations will be able to access our free presentations.

We will educate men in Scotland. The significance of educating individuals and sharing knowledge should not be underestimated. At its core, education and knowledge sharing are the primary drivers of progress and human potential.

We are dedicated to advocating for the needs and rights of men across Scotland.

Using social media can be a powerful tool for connecting with men across Scotland, fostering a sense of community and encouraging open discussions about male health issues. By leveraging various platforms, we can share vital information, raise awareness about our initiatives, and create a supportive environment where men feel comfortable discussing their health concerns. Engaging content and relatable messaging will not only inform but also inspire action, helping us to reach our mission of championing men's health in Scotland.
