Supporting Men’s Mental Health – Andy’s Man Club at Fatima
We are proud to support Andy’s Man Club, who run free weekly men’s mental health support sessions at Fatima every Monday evening.
Since launching in March, the impact has been incredible:
- 933 total attendances
- 131 new men have accessed support through the club
(averaging 15 new men each month)
These sessions provide a safe, non-judgemental space for men to talk openly, connect with others, and access support when they need it most. We are delighted to be able to host Andy’s Man Club in Fulwood and play a small part in helping men in our community.
Act Now on Cancer
Supporting Men’s Mental Health – Andy’s Man Club at Fatima
A digital cancer awareness campaign running from 12 January to 9 March 2026 across Lancashire and South Cumbria. The campaign encourages people to listen to their bodies, recognise key symptoms such as lumps, ongoing pain, blood in poo or urine, and unexplained weight loss, and contact their GP early.
Posters, leaflets, and social media resources are available to help share the message.
Veteran Friendly GP Practice
Supporting veterans and their families
We’re a Veteran Friendly Accredited practice. Our practice team is trained to understand service-related health issues and is committed to supporting veterans and their families to receive the best care possible.
If you’ve served in the Armed Forces, no matter how long ago or for how long, please let us know. We can make sure you receive the most appropriate care for your needs, if and when you need it.
This could involve referrals to specialist NHS veteran services, including Op COURAGE for mental health and wellbeing and Op RESTORE for physical health and wellbeing. These services are staffed by people who understand the Armed Forces and work with you to get the right care, support and treatment.
As a Veteran Friendly Accredited practice, we’re meeting our commitment to the Armed Forces Covenant. The Armed Forces community should enjoy the same standard of, and access to healthcare as any other UK citizen in the area they live.
Local support: PNECET Forces Activities Programme
The PNECET Forces Programme offers informal, supportive activities for veterans and members of the Armed Forces community to improve wellbeing and reduce isolation. Activities include PNE Forces Football, the Deepdale NAAFI Break, and Walk and Talk. No referral is required.
