At NorthEdge, mental health and wellbeing are high on our agenda for our business and across our portfolio. This International Men’s Day is an opportunity to raise awareness of men’s mental health and wellbeing. Our ongoing partnership with Sanctus Coaching, Mentoring & Listening, alongside several charities and initiatives including #ANDYSMANCLUB, Mindful Employer Charter and Mantality, all help us to continue encouraging conversations on men’s mental health and support. In recognition of today, we have shared some key quotes from our Beyond the Capital podcast with founders of some of these organisations in relation to mental health to raise awareness of its importance in everyday life. In recognition of the day, we have also donated to #ANDYSMANCLUB to support them to continue the important work they are doing in this space.
