Empowerment has launched fundraising packs for £20 which include a T-shirt, bag and sponsorship form, plus a race number for the coast-to-coast hike.

All funds raised will go towards onsite counselling, peer-support, group activities and a safe space where men can feel comfortable to talk to each other about their thoughts, feelings and emotions.
