Announcing the latest donation from our York City Supporters’ Trust Charitable Fund.
YCST are happy to announce that YCST supported Menfulness with a donation of £500 to help with their continued support for men within the city who face challenges with their mental health. We were pleased to welcome Paddy McLaughlin to the presentation as the charity has been chosen as one of the beneficiaries of his testimonial year.
Menfulness is a York based volunteer-led charity that originally began in 2018 as Yorkey Dads. Their aim is to break the stigma behind men’s mental health, provide a safe environment for men to get support if they need it, and also fund life-changing and life-saving counselling. They facilitate regular events such as 5-a-side football, walk & talks, dads/daughters hair school, breakfast clubs, talk groups and much more, with the aim of getting like minded blokes together and talking.
A Menfulness spokesman commented: ‘The generous donation from YCST as part of Paddy McLaughlin’s testimonial year will go directly to counselling, where we can have someone in front of a counsellor within 48hrs of referral’.
