November 19th marks International Men’s Day, a day dedicated to recognising the men in our families, workplaces and communities.
This year’s theme is ‘Celebrating Men and Boys’ and is a reminder to appreciate the men in our lives, from colleagues and friends, to fathers and brothers. The day is an opportunity to celebrate the men who make a difference in our lives and to raise awareness about the importance of supporting their health and wellbeing.
This month also marks ‘Movember‘, which focuses on men’s health by raising funds and awareness for men’s mental health, suicide prevention and prostate cancer.

If you or someone who know needs support, there are a wide range of organisations across Derby and the UK that provide support to men. Here’s a few links to helpful organisations:
- Derby County Community Trust’s Team Talk
- Safe Haven (Derby)
- Andy’s Man Club
- Men Who Talk
- James’ Place
- CALM
- UK Men’s Sheds
- StrongMen
Here at PKF Smith Cooper Systems, we’re proud to have so many talented men as part of our team. Their skills and dedication play a huge role in delivering solutions and support to our clients everyday.
This International Men’s Day, you might like to take a moment to thank the men who’ve made a positive impact in your life, or offer support to someone who may need it. Let’s continue to celebrate, appreciate, and look out for the men who make our communities stronger, not just today, but every day.
