TransUnion Raises £40,000 for Andy's Man Club Over Two Year Effort

 Employees at TransUnion in the UK, a global information and insights company based in Leeds, have raised an impressive £40,000 for Andy’s Man Club since 2024. The Yorkshire based charity works to eliminate stigma around mental health by creating a judgement-free confidential space where men can be open about their challenges.  

TransUnion colleagues initially voted for Andy’s Man Club as their Charity of the Year in 2024 and decided to extend their support throughout 2025, to continue raising awareness and fundraising efforts.  

The £40,000 total was raised through a variety of events hosted by TransUnion for their UK employees, including charity walks of the Yorkshire Three Peaks and the Peak district, charity football and netball tournaments, the JPMorganChase Corproate Challenge and cake sales. As part of the partnership, TransUnion also held sessions for employees to learn more about Andys Man Club and how to seek support with their mental health. 

TransUnion employees are given three volunteering days per year and are encouraged to take the time off to help support their individual charity efforts. Alongside companywide fundraisers, TransUnion employees have also utilised their volunteer days to participate in individual challenges, such as the Great North Run, as part of their support.  

Co-founded by Luke Ambler after his brother-in-law Andy Roberts died by suicide aged 23 in 2016, Andy’s Man Club offers men of all ages a judgement-free, non-clinical environment of free-to-attend peer-to-peer support groups. Groups are led by trained facilitators and run every Monday at 7pm, except Bank Holidays. There are now more than 330 clubs attended by more than 6,500 men across the UK, with more groups starting up each week. 

“Death by suicide is the biggest killer of men under 54 in the UK, with male mental health surrounded by deeply ingrained cultural stigma,” said Luke Ambler, co-founder of Andy’s Man Club. “As Andy’s family, we had no idea of his mental health struggles, and we wanted to help other men who may feel that they have nobody to talk to, or they don’t know where to get the right kind of support. We’ve built a network across the country, and we’re looking forward to expanding it to help even more men in the future.” 

Kaushik Gopalan, chief human resources officer at TransUnion in the UK said: "At TransUnion, giving back isn’t just something we do—it’s part of how we create lasting social value. Community initiatives like this deepen our local partnerships and help us make a positive and measurable difference. We encourage all our colleagues to champion the charities and causes they care about, because together we drive real impact. 

“We are proud that so many of our UK colleagues have come together to support a charity that is close to many of our hearts. Andy’s Man Club is an incredible organisation with an important cause to destigmatise the conversations around men’s mental health and wellbeing. At TransUnion we believe that mental health is a fundamental part of overall well-being, we will continue encouraging education, normalising conversation and building awareness for mental health and wellness in the workplace.”
