As a charity focussed on positive men’s health, we at Cahonas Scotland fully support International Men’s Day, and particularly this year’s theme of positive role models for men. We would like to thank the many celebrities who have taken the time to engage with us, learn more about what we do and support our year end fundraiser, the Loosen Up Auction 2012.”With their support and generosity we will make a real difference to the profile of men’s health issues in 2013.

Pathetic isnt it celebs expect the public to give their hard earned money to charity whilst the stars just autograph a tie & think their doing everyone a favour. Bob Geldof springs to mind.
