Tough To Talk is a men’s mental health charity that specialises in breaking down the barriers surrounding mental health conversations. Their commitment to providing a safe space for men to share their struggles aligns perfectly with the goals of Movember — a global movement that challenges men to grow Moustaches during November to spark conversations and raise funds for men’s health issues, including mental health.
Movember is more than just a month of growing facial hair; it’s a movement that encourages men to talk about their mental health, promoting openness and destigmatising the challenges many face. By teaming up with Tough To Talk, Notts County Foundation is taking a proactive stance in supporting men’s mental well-being. It also gives us an opportunity to shout about our men’s mental health programme – Added Time. Added Time combines physical activity with opportunities for men to talk about wellbeing, providing a safe space on Tuesday evenings at Brendon Lawrence Sports Centre.

The partnership between Notts County Foundation and Tough To Talk underscores the transformative power of collaboration. By leveraging the influence of a renowned football club’s charitable arm and the specialised expertise of a men’s mental health charity, this initiative aims to create a lasting impact on the mental well-being of individuals within the community.
Despite Movember coming to an end, you can still donate to their challenge here. The partnership with Tough To Talk stands as a beacon of hope for men grappling with mental health challenges. By contributing to this cause, whether through donations or spreading awareness, you become an integral part of a movement that aims to make a difference—one conversation, one donation, and one Moustache at a time.
