Men's Health Forum in Ireland: About Us

ABOUT US

MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE:

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.

All of the current Management Committee give their input to MHFI in an unpaid capacity. Some are members of the Company's Board of Trustees (with full voting rights at meetings), while others act in an advisory capacity. Members are drawn from across the island of Ireland, and the committee is, currently, comprised of:
