Angel said:
“We want to use this platform to change the conversation and challenge the outdated
stereotypes that stop men speaking out about their mental health”
Each of the men speak about their own feelings and journey with mental health and feature in a short film created by renowned artist Oliver Morris.
The calendar was sponsored by CC Scaffolding LTD (Surrey) who felt compelled to get involved following research showing 2 construction workers in the UK take their life every day, Solicitors Taylor Rose MW and mental health advocate and film producer Lynn Crilly.
The money raised from this calendar will be going towards amazing workshops Models of Diversity hold nationally for individuals with disabilities, where they deal with mental health and encourage students to build confidence, feel beautiful and take the focus away from there disability.
They would love the opportunity to talk to you further about this project and look forward to hearing from you.
