Hundreds turn out to say #ItsOktoTalk
The Andy’s Man Club event, held at The Shay stadium on Monday night was a special preview showing of the ‘Andy’s Story’ mini film, created by website The LAD Bible.
Halifax Rugby League player Luke Ambler set up the club and Twitter campaign #ItsOkToTalk after his brother-in-law Andrew took his own life. Luke knew he needed to make a difference to encourage men to talk about their mental health. The campaign has since gone global and the Fax star, 26, wants to see clubs start across the country - and the world.
