At Marketing Labs, we take our commitment to charity incredibly seriously. Our aim is to find a cause our entire team can rally behind and care deeply about. 

That is why we are thrilled to announce that Marketing Labs has chosen Andy’s Man Club as our charity of the year for 2026.

Current statistics show a terrifying reality: suicide is the leading cause of death in men under 50 in the UK. Andy’s Man Club was founded with one clear goal: to break the stigma surrounding men’s mental health. 

To do this, they run weekly, two-hour support sessions for men aged 18 and over, providing a safe environment to improve mental health through judgment-free conversation with peers, all overseen by a trained mental health specialist who leads the session.

What started from humble beginnings, just one single meeting with nine people in Halifax, has grown into a nationwide movement that now holds sessions in over 270 locations across the UK.

What are we doing to support Andy’s Man Club?

Each year, we host our Charity Karting Event at PFI, Grantham, a high-speed day of friendly competition that brings clients, team members, charity reps and businesses together for one goal: building relationships while raising awareness and funds for an incredible cause.

We’re happy to be sponsoring the charity at this year’s event on Friday, 10th July. In the meantime, we can’t wait to start planning other events in support of Andy’s Man Club.

We’re raising money for Andy’s Man Club for our Karting event via the link below.

Why Andy’s Man Club?

When Marketing Labs CEO Matt first heard Andy’s story on a podcast during the pandemic, it stuck with him. 

The mission of Andy’s Man Club resonated so deeply with him that he even looked into launching a local club to bring that support to his community.

Since then, that passion has spread across the business. Matt and the rest of the Marketing Labs team stand firmly behind the charity’s message – it’s okay to talk. 

It is a simple message, but one that carries an incredible amount of weight.

What can you do to help

Every donation makes a difference. Your support allows the club to open new doors across the UK and provide a safe space for men to talk.

Awareness is huge for Andy’s Man Club; their goal is to reach as many men in the UK as they can, and if you feel you would benefit from the support of Andy’s Man Club, please check their website to find your nearest group.

We are so excited to truly begin our partnership with the charity and can’t wait to start planning further events in support of Andy’s Man Club, and are eager to see what we can achieve together.
