Get involvedWhy this matters
Men are still told to "man up"
So we bottle it in. We crack on. And too many good guys suffer in silence when a simple chat could literally save a life.
of suicides in the UK are men. Around three in every four.
Suicide is the biggest killer of men under 50 in the UK.
Figures based on Office for National Statistics (ONS) data for the UK.
No one should go through it alone. Real connection changes everything. That's what we're here for.
How it works
Four steps. No catch.
It's free for men. You don't need to be in a certain state to come. You just need to turn up.

Put your name down for the first group, starting in Manchester. Takes two minutes.
Quick chat
Within 48 hours we'll give you a call, about 30 minutes, to check it's right for you and that you're safe.
12 weeks
A closed group of 8–10 blokes. 90 minutes a week: real tools, open talk, and one goal for the week.
Graduate
Move on into running and fitness clubs with the lads, or train up as a peer mentor for the next group.
How every session starts
One question. Honest answer.
Every session kicks off the same way. Everyone gives a number. No speeches needed. It's how we check in, and it's how you start to notice your own pressure before it boils over.
Have a go. Nothing you pick here is saved or sent anywhere.
"What's your pressure today, out of 10?"
Whatever your number, you don't have to carry it on your own.
Meet the founder
Meet Mo
I've been there. Felt the strain.
Mo started Under Pressure because he was sick of seeing good guys suffer in silence. He's Manchester through and through, and he's lived it.
No corporate fluff. No lectures. Just a mate who's been through it, bringing people together to sweat it out and talk it out.
