Men's Health Forum in Ireland: About Us

ABOUT US

BOARD OF TRUSTEES:

At the outset (in May 1999) the Men's Health Forum in Ireland (MHFI) primarily drew support from a broad alliance of interest groups based in Northern Ireland. However, it soon recognised that men's health work needs to be tackled on an all-island basis, and efforts were made to expand the representation.

The current Board Members were elected at the Annual General Meeting on Tuesday 5th September 2006. All of them give their input to MHFI in an unpaid capacity, are drawn from across the island of Ireland, and include:
