A new peer-to-peer support group for men will open in Yeovil.

ANDYSMANCLUB, which runs free, no-registration support groups for men aged 18 and over, will open the new club on November 25.

The group meetings take place every Monday at 7pm, excluding bank holidays.

ANDYSMANCLUB was founded after the death of Andy Roberts, who took his own life without any prior indication to his family that he was struggling.

His brother-in-law, Luke Ambler, and his mother, Elaine Roberts, established the club to provide a safe space for men who find it difficult to open up about their struggles.

The first session took place in Halifax in 2016, with nine men attending.

The club has since expanded to hundreds of locations nationwide, from Plymouth to Aberdeen.

In response to the Covid-19 pandemic, ANDYSMANCLUB introduced an online platform via Google Meet.

This allows men who are unable to leave their homes to participate in the sessions.

The charity's long-term goal is to have a location within 30 minutes' travel of any man in the UK.
