Greater Pollok Men's Health & Activity Forum
Greater Pollok Men's Health and Activity Forum began when a group of local men came together to look at ways of improving men's health through participation in outdoor activities and providing information on men's health issues.
Their aim is to promote health and wellbeing among the local male population - especially those men who are often excluded e.g. men with mental health problems, addiction problems, long term unemployed and are socially disadvantaged.
