Million for Men's Health Week
Most workplace wellbeing initiatives are missing the men who need them most!
1 in 5 men die prematurely from preventable causes. Suicide remains the leading cause of death in men under 50. Yet many workplace wellbeing strategies still fail to engage men in a way that actually works.
This is how we change that - introducing the Million for Men's Health Challenge. A simple, inclusive team-based activity challenge designed to get your workforce moving, connecting, and engaging in their health - without the usual barriers.
From 11 June to 19 July, teams of five colleagues represent a nation and log their minutes of movement during Men's Health Week and the FIFA World Cup. Walk, run, swim or train – every active minute counts. Teams are open to everyone – men and women are very welcome.
🏆 Prize for the highest scoring team, prize draw for teams reaching 5,000 minutes and individual prizes up for grabs.
🎫 £30 per team (25% charity discount). Free for existing members.

Our challenges:
