The M5 Project is a collaborative effort involving the following not-for-profit organisations and Government departments who all share a passion for the wellbeing of men.

As men, we have a long history of fighting for things. Having a belief and standing up for it. We have fought for land, religion, peace, equality and attention.
As men — fathers, sons, brothers, partners and friends — we have a new cause to fight for — our health.
