Andy’s Man Club is a men’s suicide prevention charity which was founded by the family of 23-year-old Andrew Roberts who sadly took his own life.
They now have over 100 clubs throughout the UK where they host weekly groups sessions at dedicated sports venues, providing men over the age of 18 with a safe space to talk about their mental health. Since launching, the club has helped thousands of men come through difficult times in their lives.
A spokesperson for Andy’s Man Club said: “We are hugely grateful for the donation of a wide variety of books to our charity.
"We’re positive that these books will be well received by a number of our volunteers and group members who might find solace in the range of topics covered from this year’s entries. Thanks again to William Hill Sports Book of the Year for your generosity.”

Neil Foggin, a judge on the William Hill Sports Book of the Year Award, commented: “This year, we received an unprecedented number of great entries from talented authors for our William Hill Sports Book of the Year 2022 Award and instead of these sitting on our shelves, we wanted to give something back to our community.
“Many people find comfort reading about the experiences and thoughts of others and we believe that books can have the power to be life changing. Andy’s Man Club is a fantastic charity, that supports hundreds of men every week and we hope that their members can gain some comfort and inspiration from the range of great sports books that were nominated for this year’s William Hill Sports Book of the Year Award.”

Inside Leeds’ newest vintage store that’s a Y2K-lover’s paradise
Clementine Hall
Yorkshire's favourite vintage retailer has just opened a permanent store in Leeds city centre.
Following the huge success of its temporary pop-up shop in Leeds Trinity, Glass Onion is back with a bang having moved into a larger, two-floor space in Leeds city centre.
They've taken over the old Levi's site on Lands Lane and wow is it a beauty.
Glass Onion’s journey began in 2005, when founder John started selling vintage clothing out of his grandma’s coal shed in Barnsley.
