Pride of Britain Awards honour Andy’s Man Club founders
Elaine Roberts and Luke Ambler are being honoured at the 2026 Pride of Britain Awards for founding Andy’s Man Club.
Roberts’s son, Andy, took his own life in 2016 at age 23, and the charity was created in his memory.
It began in a single room in Halifax and has grown into hundreds of groups across the UK.
The Mirror says the charity now brings together more than 7,000 men at sessions across England, Scotland and Wales.
The groups offer men a barrier-free place to talk, with the aim of helping prevent suicide.
The awards ceremony takes place on Monday night, and ITV will broadcast it on Thursday evening.
