Tonight on BBC1 at 6.30pm you should be able to watch a segment about the great new Cornermen initiative down at South Moreton Boxing Club.
Set up by Steve and John, it aims to support men having difficulties with their mental health. We know men are much less likely to talk about their problems and have signficantly higher suicide rates than women. The Cornermen lets men who are struggling come and box and talk to friendly people who can support them and help them access other services. They'll even pick you up.
I am very pleased to support it and to be able to get the BBC down to film me being put through my paces - boxing is a lot of fun, so do get in contact with them if you or someone you know is struggling.
Too often men bottle up their feelings and will not talk to people about them but if they come to the Cornermen, they can relax and talk to the friendly people here about how they are feeling and get further support to help them feel more optimistic.
