Men's Health Forum is a charity based in England and Wales. Its mission is to provide an independent and authoritative voice for male health and to tackle the issues affecting the health and well-being of boys and men.
The MHF was founded in 1994. It was set up by the Royal College of Nursing but became completely independent of the RCN when it was established as a registered charity in 2001. It is now an independent body with working with a wide range of individuals and organisations to develop health services that meet men's needs and enable men to change their risk-taking behaviours. It is a strategic partner of the Department of Health.
The Chief Executive is Martin Tod; and the chair of trustees is Dr John Chisholm. The world's first professor of men's health, Professor Alan White from the Centre for Men's Health at Leeds Metropolitan University, is Patron.
It lobbies policy-makers and service commissioners, runs projects, carries out research, publishes reports and health information booklets, coordinates Men’s Health Week and runs two websites including the award-winning health information site malehealth.co.uk.
