Men United SCIO Peterhead Charity won the Community Spirit Award | The winners of Inspiring Aberdeenshire 2024 have been announced.
Men United is a charity working in Peterhead, surrounding areas and across Aberdeenshire as a whole.
They provide a support service for men suffering with their mental health, through peer support, a listening ear, safe spaces and professional support.
To-date they have supported around 850 men and intervened and saved over 30 people who were considering taking their own lives. The drop-in centre is open five days a week, free for all men to attend.
Recently, the group has started a support service for young men aged 16-21, identifying a gap in mental health support for this age group. Local groups are available at Newmachar and Turriff, and also online.
Men United staff visit workplaces and give talks on how to help or spot those who may be struggling. As a charity, they are growing all the time, reaching out to those who have nowhere else to turn.
