A Cumbrian men’s mental health charity has launched a campaign in time for the festive season.
Offload Cumbria, said while Christmas can be joyful for many, it can also be challenging for those struggling with mental health issues, feeling lonely, or distant from friends or family.
Liam Edmondson, founder of Offload, said: “Offload Cumbria’s mission is to ensure no man feels alone this season. There’s no magic to it, lads simply share their problems and offload the weight they’ve been carrying around in their mind.”
The charity encourages men to talk, feel less isolated, and be more supported during times of mental health struggle.
Offload Cumbria operates three weekly peer-to-peer support sessions in Carlisle and Penrith.
Liam added: “I encourage any men out there who are struggling to come along to a session and see what we’re all about.
“Our friendly group is here to help you deal with life’s challenges, which can often feel heavier this time of year. Think of us as a mate who will hear you out and never judge you. If you’re looking for moral support, Offload is here for you.”
The sessions are free and easily accessible with no referral or registration required. For more information, visit offloadcumbria.co.uk.
