STOP
TELLING
MEN
TO
MAN
UP.
84 men a week in the UK die by suicide.
That’s 12 per day.
One man every 2 hours.
Stop telling men they aren’t allowed to cry or that it make them “ less of a man”

Fantastic @ArtsAward week at Bournville. Inspired by the Moon landings we travelled to the Moon via art and science, met aliens and came back safely. @centre_alt_tech #aliens #junkmodelling #imagination
