It’s time for Scotland to show leadership, dedicate to equality in health, and invest in a healthier future for our men and boys which impacts on everyone.

We call on the Scottish Government and all political parties to commit to developing and funding a dedicated Men’s Health Strategy and Men’s Health Champion for Scotland—and to properly invest in proven, empowered grassroots solutions already supporting men across the country, like the SMSA, without reinventing the wheel.

SILENT NO MORE.
