Mr Hastings and St Leonards

Mr Hastings and St Leonards Men’s Health and Wellbeing Project is hosted by Hastings Voluntary Action, funded by East Sussex County Council and most importantly, led by local men.

Research shows that life expectancy for men in Hastings and St Leonards is significantly lower than the national average. There have been many great initiatives across the borough that have made a real difference to individual men’s health and wellbeing. However, this hasn’t changed the bigger picture around men’s life expectancy locally.

This project is based on the belief that men in Hastings and St Leonards will live happier, healthier, and longer lives if they are at the heart of decision making and live in strong, supportive, and well-connected communities, where they can fulfil their potential.

There are many opportunities for local men, and the individuals, groups and organisations that work with men locally, to get involved and lead the way.  Making  a real difference to things that are important to men and impact on their health and wellbeing.
