Well deserved 💪🏻💙
❤️💙TONIGHT OUR HEARTS ARE FULL OF PRIDE 💙❤️
Some moments are bigger than words, and tonight is certainly one of them.
Tonight, Andy’s family and the founders of ANDYSMANCLUB receive a Pride of Britain Special Recognition Award and there really couldn’t be a more deserving family.
Whilst the nation sees an incredible charity and the lives it has changed, we see something even more extraordinary.
We see a family who, through unimaginable heartbreak, found the courage and strength to turn their pain into hope for others. A family who made sure Andy’s name would go on to mean something extraordinary.
Born from loss. Built on hope.
A legacy that has become a lifeline for so many. 💙
Ten years on, we’ve reached one million attendances and what started as a small group of men talking has become something none of us could ever have imagined.
And what makes tonight even more special? It’s Monday.
It’s club night. 💙
Whilst Andy’s family are being recognised on a national stage, our incredible team of volunteer facilitators will be swinging open the doors of over 370 ANDYSMANCLUB groups across the country, welcoming men through those doors, some for the very first time, offering friendship, support and a place where nobody has to face their struggles alone.
To Andy’s family and our founders, our incredible staff team, every volunteer, every facilitator and every man who has ever walked through our doors, thank you.
We often describe ANDYSMANCLUB as a ship. Some help steer it, some keep it sailing through the storms, and others have simply needed it to carry them until they find their feet again.
But without you, that ship would never have set sail.
Tonight, every single one of us aboard that ship is bursting with pride for you.
We will strive to remain a square peg in a round hole. Andy will forever be at the heart of everything we do. His name lives on in every group, every conversation and every man who finds the courage to say, “I’m struggling.”
Tonight, the nation recognises what we have known for years. You are truly extraordinary.
From all of us, we couldn’t be prouder.
