We attended the Men's Health and Wellbeing Event at the Avoniel Leisure Centre on Friday 12.06.2026 which was organised by Community Sports Network. The event was very well attended and it was encouraging to see so many men engaging with the organisations present and taking positive steps towards improving their health and wellbeing. Events like these demonstrate the value of partnership working and the importance of making health and wellbeing support accessible within our communities.

💙 Men’s Health Week

This week, we’re shining a light on men’s health — including the impact of cancer and the importance of support at every stage.
A cancer diagnosis can be overwhelming, not just physically but emotionally too. It’s okay to feel unsure, to struggle, and to need support. You don’t have to face it alone.

Belfast Trust Cancer Support is here for you 💙

Whether it’s speaking to someone, accessing some of our support services, joining a group, or simply taking things one day at a time — every step matters.
Reaching out isn’t a sign of weakness — it’s a step towards strength and recovery.
If you or someone you care about is affected by cancer, support is here 💙

Let’s keep the conversation going, check in with each other, and remind men that it’s okay to ask for help 👇

If you’d like more information or support, get in touch 💙
