The hardest part of grief for many men isn’t just the loss, it’s the loneliness that comes after it.
The calls stop.
People move on.
Life carries on around them.
And while they’re trying to keep everything together by working hard, supporting a family, paying bills, carrying responsibility many grieving men are silently struggling underneath it all.
Because a lot of men feel they can’t fall apart.
They feel they have to keep going no matter what.
But grief doesn’t disappear just because someone stays busy.
This Mental Health Awareness Week, remember: loneliness can be just as heavy as grief itself.
Check on the men who say “I’m alright” too quickly.
Every purchase of StrongMen merchandise helps us continue providing vital support to grieving men facing loneliness, loss and isolation.

As we head into Mental Health Awareness Week, Jason Watkins meets an amazing charity called StrongMen, which helps men struggling with grief. Watch the full film here https://youtu.be/yLS7-AQUHiI
Mental Health Awareness Month exists to open up conversations, challenge stigma, and remind people that support is out there.
For many men, especially those dealing with bereavement, talking about mental health isn’t always easy. Grief can be silent, heavy, and isolating.
This month, and every month, we’re here to remind you that you don’t have to go through it alone.
If you or someone you know is struggling after a loss, we’re here to listen.

Today marks 10 years since our co-founder and CEO Efrem Brynin flew to Ecuador for the second series of SAS Who Dares Wins. The series was the catalyst for StrongMen following the collaboration with Efrem, Dan Cross and Matthew ‘Ollie’ Ollerton. The show plays an important part of the charity, and to our knowledge the only such organisation to come from the show.
Whilst Dan and Ollie are no longer part of StrongMen, Efrem remains integral to everything that we do, today is also his birthday. So happy birthday Efrem, and thanks you @billingham22b@jason_carl_fox@ollie.ollerton@antmiddleton@sas_whodareswins@channel4
Did you watch this series??

A big thank you to @bupa.uk for giving their team the opportunity to volunteer with us at Strongmen.
We were lucky to have a few of their staff come in and completely redecorate our office space and what a difference it’s made. It feels brighter, fresher, and so much more welcoming for the men we support.
Bupa offers its employees paid volunteering days each year, encouraging them to give back to their communities & we’re incredibly grateful that they chose to spend that time with us.
Thank you again to everyone involved for your time, energy and graft 🙌

How much more can one man give?! Martin matched his hair to our top, crammed in the miles on short notice and still smashed the @londonmarathon all while raising money for us. What a legend. Thank you, @martinglester 💪
Congratulations to everybody that ran today, huge amounts of money have been raised for so many incredible charities.

Great to support the St George’s Day Lunch in London yesterday. As previous beneficiaries it was great to see the wonderful charity @charitydebra and their president @soueyofficial raising around £83k for their charity on the day 💥

We’re excited to be at the @londonmarathon this weekend, we have entered the ballot every year and apart from this year where we have 1 runner (go on Martin💪), we’ve been unsuccessful.
We’ve already been unsuccessful in securing a place for 2027, just another struggle of being a small charity, let us know if you can help otherwise let’s keep our fingers crossed for 2028 😅

A huge thank you again to the team at @alpinef1team for our behind the scenes access yesterday, we are always grateful for your support.
This visit was made even more exciting with the race team & cars back at Enstone preparing for the next race in Miami.
We always make sure our reunions are as special as they can be 💪

Still feeling inspired after an incredible weekend at the @londonlandmarkshalf
A huge THANK YOU to every single one of our amazing runners who took on 13.1 miles through the capital’s most iconic sights for us. Balancing months of training alongside busy lives, early mornings, long days, and everything in between.
Because of you, we’re able to continue doing what we do. While the final fundraising total is still being confirmed, there’s still time to support by donating, each runners page is open for a few more days. Help us go even further 🙌

NEW MERCH HAS LANDED.
This marks the first drop from our new leisurewear line, it's a shift in style, but still unmistakably us. Featuring a subtle StrongMen logo on the front, paired with our BJJ-inspired skull design on the back.
We’ve stepped in a new direction with this one, something different, but driven by the same purpose.
For every piece sold, we generate around £8 in profit which is enough to fund a meal for someone attending one of our Weekenders, so your purchase goes beyond the clothing itself.
GO GO GO, limited numbers available.
