The global event looks to address abuse, homelessness, suicide, violence and any other issue that men could potentially be facing.
Expect a range of policy announcements including from the Department for Health and Social Care, Crown Prosecution Service, Greater London Assembly and the National... Screening Committee, all involving support for men.

Unlike the women’s day, it is not recognised by the United Nations, but is independently organised and shaped around six pillars of intent:

1. To promote positive male role models; not just movie stars and sports men but everyday, working-class men who are living decent, honest lives.
2. To celebrate men's positive contributions to society, community, family, marriage, child care, and the environment.
3. To focus on men's health and wellbeing: social, emotional, physical, and spiritual.
4. To highlight discrimination against men in areas of social services, social attitudes and expectations, and law.
5. To improve gender relations and promote gender equality.
6. To create a safer, better world, where people can be safe and grow to reach their full potential.

The theme for this year is “Celebrating Men and Boys”.
So tomorrow, we will be telling the positive male role models in our lives just what they mean to us

Happy Birthday Nye Bevan!

Born on this day in 1897, Aneurin Bevan was a Trade unionist, Labour MP and Health Minister in the Attlee government and, without doubt, one of the greats of 20th century socialism.

Firebrand socialist and orator, Bevan is regarded as the father of the ...National Health Service. A Labour Government created the NHS and a Labour Government will ALWAYS protect the NHS.

In one of his most (in)famous speeches, he described his deep and burning hatred for the Tory party: 'So far as I am concerned,' he said, 'they are lower than vermin.'
I wonder what he’d say about them now?

The thoughts from our Vice Chair this Armistice Day highlight the benefits that state investment in social infrastructure give us. After both World Wars it was the Labour administration's expansion of the welfare state that delivered hope and dignity to a beleagured Nation.
If you have a ...similar story we'd love to hear it.

NEW 'Passivhaus' social housing in Exeter.

This is what we've been campaigning for here in Torridge.
Our Policy Officer has written a motion calling for the creation of manufacturing hubs in deprived areas to make modular eco homes. Building energy efficient, ...affordable, social housing at pace and scale. Levelling up with future proofed jobs in the modern building sector. Skilling local people to solve a local need. Creating sustainable economic growth within the green economy.
This motion has already been presented to the Labour Party and will be presented to the Cooperative Party conference next week.
