Adam Hollioake
I can advocate for what StrongMen does as a charity, it’s important to find specialist support amongst people with understanding in your loss. I know from my own experiences how important this can be, and how difficult it can be without it. I’m delighted to support StrongMen and look forward to working with them.

It’s important to realise that people do understand what you’ve been through, and whilst every loss is different much of the experience is similar. To provide a safe environment where men can talk about bereavement is unique, and that is why I support StrongMen in any way I can.

‘The most important part is to be able to talk to each other. Losing my mother at 21 years of age, losing my best friend at 33, Stephen Gately, it’s times like that you evaluate and ask yourself ‘am I living the right way, am I getting the most from me and am I the best version of myself?’ I am a passionate ambassador for what StrongMen does, it’s amazing’.

Kirsty Gallacher
‘We’re all talking about mental health, especially in men. It’s great to be associated with StrongMen and the great work that they do supporting men after bereavement. Anything I can do to help them raise awareness to the cause is an absolute honour’

Mark ‘Billy’ Billingham
‘It’s so important for men to have a safe place to go when they need to talk. I know from my own experience of loss how important that is. StrongMen creates that place and it’s unique, which is why it’s so important we support them’.

Jeff Brazier
My association with StrongMen and being involved with some of their events has given me the chance to speak about my own experiences, with the hope that this will help others. Providing that support, be it in groups or 1:1 is such a powerful force to recovery.

Lawrence Dallaglio
‘When you’ve had a trauma like I had with the loss of my sister, nothing in life that comes after that is ever going to come close to the pain and suffering that you’ve seen or experienced. You don’t expect to bury one of your siblings before your parents, and it blew our World apart. It’s nice to talk and hear about StrongMen, which is incredible. If you can connect a group of people around a common theme, there’s no stopping you’.
