Mind The Chap is back this Men's Health Week, with the Campaign Against Living Miserably (CALM) handing out free limited-edition Oyster Card holders at various London tube and rail stations, targeting thousands of commuters with the slogan ‘Mind The Chap’ to serve as a reminder that men are three times more likely than women to die by suicide.
A free space for conversation on the themes underpinning The Calm Photography Movement project and exhibition featuring Simon Jack (BBC Business Editor), Steve Wallington (TCPM co-founder and Creative Director), Poorna Bell (Executive Editor of HuffPost UK and author of Chase the Rainbow), Casey Moore (photographer) and James Scroggs (CALM’s Chair of Trustees).
This Sunday, 23rd April, 42 runners will take part in the Virgin Money London Marathon in support of the Campaign Against Living Miserably (CALM), the UK’s leading charity dedicated to preventing male suicide. CALM is a partner of Heads Together, the official charity of the London Marathon spearheaded by The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and Prince Harry, who will be cheering on CALM runners.
Recent UK figures show that men are three times more likely than women to take their own life, and less likely to talk to anyone about going through depression. The Calm Photography Movement has been founded in partnership with LYNX to spark conversation about masculinity, mental health and self-expression through photography, in aid of the Campaign Against Living Miserably (CALM).
