Oxford Stations 1200mile Challenge

By Ash Parker

Help support Ash with their Challenge for a Bloke

My Challenge for a Bloke

12.5% of men in England experience mental health disorders. 75% of suicides in the UK are men. Men are far less likely to seek help. 

As a result we wanted to challenge ourselves. Ash, Warren, Harry, Haydn, Morgan and Sam. Throughout May we are challenging ourselves to walk 1200 miles - the same distance as Lands End to John O Groats - to raise awareness and try and raise funds to support Spoke to a bloke to work with their charities to support men with mental health challenges. 

I’m a huge advocate for mental health and wellbeing and a strong believer more can and should be done. Whether that’s sharing the messages, supporting friends and family, or just being that friendly face. Everyone can make a difference whether big or small. It is the responsibility of all of us to each make the world a little brighter and support each other with our challenges. Striking a conversation and really listening is key. 

Join us as we make our journey and if you can give us support we would really appreciate it. Thank you!

Hi, I’m Haydn. 


Mental health is something everyone struggles with, and I’m no exception. 

I’m walking in May to support those people who are struggling with their mental health. 

It’s okay to talk, help is out there.

Hi, I’m Harry

I am walking for mental health in May, because people just like me and you need support. I have personally struggled in the past, and I have seen other people struggle and together, we can be a force for good. Remember, it's okay to talk.

Hi my name is Ash,

I am walking this May to raise awareness of men’s mental health and support the work of Spoke to a Bloke in helping and being there for all the guys who need a hand and support with their mental health. 

It’s okay not to be okay. Fight the stigma and talk about things 

Together we can make a difference 

We are a charity focused on supporting blokes mental health. We do this through running a series of community based events, including Walk for a Bloke and Challenge for a Bloke. 

Funds raised via these events are being used to fund two core Spoke to a Bloke Projects;

M.I.N.D.S – The MEN IN NEED OF DIGITAL SUPPORT project is an initiative to bring together a wide range of mental health experts, knowledgeable individuals and everyday blokes to create 24/7 help content aimed at supporting adult and younger men.

121 – The 121 project will deliver direct professional help for blokes that need financial assistance and reach those that need it most. 

In addition to our projects, our events also serve as medicine.  We enable blokes to be active, to connect, to share, to listen, to learn and to share in events to help build resilience through action.
