Jim Cassidy - Men Matter Scotland
We are a men's mental health and suicide prevention charity based in Drumchapel, Glasgow led by men who have struggled with their mental health and suicidal ideation. We provide instantly available 1:1 support in a crisis, peer-to-peer groups, therapeutic and wellbeing activity and counselling to help men recover and stay with us.
As a small organisation, we are reliant on volunteers to deliver our day to day activity in our hub - supporting members to engage with our programme and helping keep the hub running smoothly when staff are supporting men in crisis. As an organisation led by lived experience, all our volunteers have all been members at one point. Jim has been an exemplary volunteer amongst so many fantastic volunteers - leading by example with his passion for supporting men in crisis and using his own story to inspire their recovery.
