The Etihad Stadium will host East Manchester's first Andy's Man Club sessions, Manchester City have announced.
In a bid to offer male supporters and local residents a safe, judgement-free space to discuss issues in their personal lives, City have teamed up with Andy's Man Club to host the weekly sessions at the Etihad. The group will become the first Andy's Man Club sessions in East Manchester, following a successful launch of a branch in Ashton-under-Lyne which attracted 70 men for the first session earlier this month.
The Andy's Man Club sessions in Oldham is one of the largest in the country by average attendance, with over 180 clubs nationwide which currently support over 4,000 men. Andy's Man Club was founded in 2016 as a suicide prevention charity offering free peer-to-peer support groups for males over the age of 18.

City Managing Director Danny Wilson said: “Over recent years, we have sadly lost a number of our fans to suicide and know that men often feel unable to talk about their wellbeing and the impact this can have on their own lives.
"By offering access to free, weekly meetings delivered by Andy’s Man Club and their team, we hope that our fans and the wider community who may need some additional support will have access
