It’s Monday, and you know what that means?

We go again.

Tonight from 7pm to 9pm, we meet at the University of Wolverhampton Science Park WV10 9RU, for Andys Man Club

Whatever last week looked like, we go again.

We talk.
We listen.
We support each other.
We find the positives, even in the toughest weeks.

Some of us will laugh.
Some of us might cry.
Some of us will walk through the door carrying more than anyone knows.

But we go again.

Because things can change.
Because progress matters, even a little progress.
Because no man should struggle alone.

If the week ahead feels tough, come and face it with us.

If you’ve never been to Andy’s Man Club before, all you need to do is turn up after 6:30pm. You’ll be welcomed at the door, settled in with a brew and biscuit, and supported without judgement.

No cost.
No registration.
No pressure.

Just men helping men.

Make this the Monday you make a change.
You can go again, and this time, you don’t have to do it alone.

The council will be marking this year’s Carers Week with a range of activities for unpaid carers and the people they look after.

Carers Week, which gets underway today (Monday), is an annual campaign to raise awareness of caring, highlight the challenges unpaid carers face and recognise the contribution they make to families and communities throughout the UK. It also helps people who don't think of themselves as having caring responsibilities to identify as carers, and to access much-needed support.

Councillor Linda Leach, Cabinet Member for Adults, said: "We are on hand to give our city’s unpaid carers as much help as possible to carry out their vitally important role, so whether you are an adult or a young carer, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.”

Councillor Jacqui Coogan, Cabinet Member for Children, Young People and Education, added: "Thousands of unpaid carers in Wolverhampton look after family members or friends who have a disability, a mental or physical illness, or simply need extra help as they grow older, and Carers Week is a chance for us all to recognise and celebrate their incredible hard work, dedication, and compassion."

The council offers a range of assistance to people of any age who care for a friend, relative or neighbour, ensuring they are supported in their caring role, and have access to the services they need. Read the full story by clicking the link in the comments below 👇
