Do something you love & then ‘do lunch’
Our 2020 theme is wellbeing – so we are encouraging you to have a self-focus in the morning of 14th Nov. Do something for you – something which makes you feel good, that helps you recharge, chill or feel invigorated.
Work up an appetite & then ‘Do lunch’ with a man you care about. Maybe invite a man, mate, brother, Dad, son, cousin, colleague, partner , husband to do an activity with you – try something different, try something new – have some fun.
Sign up for these events
Here are some of the cracking events which you can sign up for as part of this initiative to help people connect – especially with a man they care about and are worried about through this difficult time.

Post a picture with the hashtag #MenDoLunchDay
Get involved – whatever you do on Sat 14 Nov – spread the word it’s OK to talk. Post a picture on your social media with our hashtag. Thank you.
How other people are getting involved…
Mostly virtually – that’s how, but if your local rules allow to meet a male friend – please do, you may just save a life at lunch!
People are inviting a man they care about to lunch for a chat about how they are – asking questions, listening & catching up. They are offering connection, support & an opportunity to have a good old-fashioned chinwag with each other. It’s never been more important to make time for this in our busy busy 24/7 lives.
Other people are wild swimming, mountain biking, walking with their dogs, skateboarding, gardening, doing whatever they love to feel good.
