I am delighted to lend my support to Dene Harley and his incredible Mizen to Malin challenge in aid of Foyle Search and Rescue and Men's Action Network NI

Dene is undertaking the remarkable task of running from Ireland’s most southerly point, Mizen Head, to its most northerly point, Malin Head, covering up to 60km a day over ten days.

I encourage running clubs, athletics groups, and individual runners to join Dene for part of his journey and show their support. Every mile run alongside him will help raise awareness and demonstrate the strength of community spirit.

Best of luck Dene! We’re all behind you and cheering you on every step of the way.

After weeks of planning, Men's Health Week June 15 - 21 2026 is finally mapped out!

A huge thank you to everyone who helped shape this year's programme over the past three weeks, particularly our incredible volunteers.

Your time, ideas, commitment, & hard work have helped create a week that will encourage men to talk, connect, learn, and take positive steps for their physical and mental wellbeing.

Men's Health Week is important because it shines a spotlight on issues that too often go unspoken. It creates opportunities for men to access support, improve their health, build connections, & realise that they don't have to face life's challenges alone.

While we're looking forward to a fantastic week of activities, it's important to remember that men's health matters every week of the year.

Here at Men's Action Network, we're here before, during, & long after Men's Health Week ends. Whether you're struggling, looking for support, wanting to meet new people, or simply seeking advice, our door is always open.

Thank you again to everyone involved in making this happen.

(Please note: Our scheduled daily programmes & support sessions continue as normal)

The time, energy, skills, & compassion you give make a real difference every day. Whether you're supporting programmes, helping behind the scenes, assisting at events, or simply being there for others, your contribution helps us reach and support men, families, and communities across our area.

Volunteers are at the heart of what we do, and we couldn't achieve our impact without your dedication and commitment.

Important interview from Mens Alliance NI on UTV highlighting the urgent need for funding and a dedicated refuge for male victims of domestic abuse.

Well done to Mens Alliance for continuing to raise awareness and champion men who are too often overlooked within the sector we represent. Men's Alliance NI

Our charity has consistently pushed for recognition, support services and safe spaces for male victims across the decades and will continue to do so.

In Northern Ireland, thousands of men experience domestic abuse every year, yet refuge provision remains extremely limited.

Every victim deserves safety, dignity and support, regardless of gender; who's listening?

“In Confidence..." - Mondays - 6pm (Email - [email protected])

'In Confidence' is more than a support group, it’s a space where lived experience becomes hope for someone else.

Addiction, trauma, loss, isolation, & struggle can make people believe change is impossible.

This group brings together men who have fought battles, rebuilt their lives, & are willing to share their journey honestly so others know they are not alone in total confidence.

Every story shared has the power to save, inspire, & help another man take that first step forward.

If you have travelled your own road, no matter what it was, and would like to share your experiences to help support others, we invite you to contact us in confidence.

Facilitated by counsellors from Men's Action Network.
Mondays - 6pm
(Refreshments provided)

Men are dying because prostate cancer is often found too late.

The NHS says national screening could “cause more harm than good” because some treatments may lead to side effects like erectile dysfunction or incontinence, as stated.

But for many men & families, the greater harm is a cancer diagnosis that comes too late to treat effectively.

Prostate cancer is now the most common cancer in men in the UK, taking around 12,000 lives every year.

Men deserve the right to informed choice, early detection, & access to the best possible care, not silence, stigma, or delay.

Screening and testing have improved massively. MRI scans, targeted biopsies & active monitoring mean treatment is no longer a one-size-fits-all approach. Many men may never need invasive treatment at all.

We encourage men to know the risks, speak to their GP, & start conversations early, especially if you are over 50, have a family history of prostate cancer, or are worried about symptoms. Prostate Cancer UK

Men’s health must matter. Early conversations save lives.
