Subject: Directory Safeguarding & Signposting Activity
Status: Recorded Activity
Executive Summary
Between January and March 2026, MMH Men’s Mental Health CIC recorded 67 external signposting actions across 30 identifiable non-MMH destinations.
During the quarter, MMH also replaced its location-pin map with a clearer, searchable and filterable group directory. This was an important safeguarding and information-quality improvement, reducing the risk of outdated meeting locations being displayed while directing visitors to each organisation’s official website for current details.
Operational Data
- Total Recorded External Signposting Actions: 67
- Peer-Support and Community Group Website Clicks: 48
- Specialist, Urgent-Help and Public Information Website Clicks: 19
- Distinct External Destinations Accessed: 30
A recorded signposting action represents an outbound click from the MMH platform to a non-MMH website. It does not confirm that somebody contacted, attended or received support from the external organisation.
Strategic Analysis
The data shows visitors using the platform to explore a mixture of peer-support groups, activity-based communities, specialist organisations and public information resources.
The most frequently accessed external group websites during the quarter were:
- Andy’s Man Club: 7 recorded clicks
- Men’s Sheds: 6 recorded clicks
- Men Who Talk: 6 recorded clicks
- Man Down: 4 recorded clicks
- The Men’s Table: 4 recorded clicks
- Walk & Talk 999: 4 recorded clicks
Directory Safeguarding and Data Quality
In January 2026, MMH replaced its map-based group directory with a searchable and filterable system. Location pins can become inaccurate when groups change venues, alter meeting times or stop operating. Continuing to display an outdated pin could lead someone towards information that is no longer current.
The revised men’s support group directory allows visitors to search by location and filter options by group type. It provides clear organisation-level information before directing visitors to the group’s official public-facing website.
External organisations remain responsible for publishing and maintaining their current venues, meeting times, availability and contact details. MMH provides information and signposting only and does not run or manage the listed groups.
This approach improves transparency, reduces reliance on potentially outdated meeting information and makes outbound activity an important measure of how the directory is being used.
Financial & Governance Statement
During the quarter, available resources were prioritised towards maintaining and developing MMH’s free signposting infrastructure. This included the redevelopment of the group directory, ongoing platform maintenance and work to improve the visibility of external support options.
Trading activity through MMH Clothing, alongside founder investment, helps sustain the platform and reduces MMH CIC’s reliance on grants and public donations.
Call to Action
Men’s peer-support groups, walk-and-talk groups, activity-based communities and public-facing online groups can submit their details for consideration through the MMH group submission page.
Existing listed organisations are also encouraged to notify MMH when their website or general listing information changes. Visitors should always check an organisation’s official website for its latest meeting details before attending.
