Charities

A great way to be involved in International Men’s Day in the UK is to help charities and other organisations supporting men and boys’ wellbeing.

Many organisations and people approach the team about whether they can:

  • Who they can fundraise/donate to
  • (How to) Organise an event 
  • Guest speakers
  • Sponsor International Men’s Day

International Men’s Day in the UK as a whole cannot be sponsored – whilst the platform’s responsibility and brand is officially overseen/owned by the Men and Boys Coalition charity (which receives no funding to support International Men’s Day) – it is a community and global grassroots movement so it cannot be ‘owned’ by a corporate, brand or other organisation. 

However, we are also often asked what men and boys charities can people raise money for/ donate/promote or sponsor. Or where they can source speakers for. Below is a list of suggested charities (please feel free to email details of any additional charities to contact@ukmensday.org.uk):
