Toys for Christmas Appeal

Henley Man Club in partnership with the Herald, Bagatelle and Nomad are launching the Toys for Christmas appeal for families who might struggle to buy toys for their children this Christmas.

Gary Boys who launched the Henley Man Club in March with Luke Dorn raised £1500 for the first Henley Toys for Christmas Appeal in December 2020 through donations for playing requests on his Covid DJ show that year. This year he hopes that through the members of Henley Man Club they can raise much more.

Hear what our members say…

“Henley Man Club couldn't have come at a better time in my life. Being able to frankly and openly talk to other men in a safe and confidential space about the struggles and challenges that we all face on a daily basis with no agenda or social pressures is not only enlightening and but genuinely provides a real support platform and real pathways to overcome the problems that so many men face alone. Alone and quietly suffering was a real part of my life. Embarrassed to ask for help. Constant self doubt, am the only one who is struggling to make it work. Why am I getting it wrong where others succeed?”

“Because I was doing what i was brought up to do. Manning up. Keeping it all under the bonet. The engines are broken, but the chassis still shines.

In the three weeks I've been part of the group, I have already created a new path for my career. I can see a way to be financially solvent. I can see progress in my relationship with my family and ex-wife. I can see hope. I know it won't all be OK. But I know I don't have to pretend it all is anymore.”
