Financial summary

Staffing Healthy Male to inform, produce and distribute our work through increasingly digital platforms, continues to be a major area of expenditure. Without the team behind Healthy Male, we could not do the work that we do.

The organisational focus is to provide health education for men and health professionals, as well as health promotion campaigns to engage and empower men to improve their wellbeing. Everything that we do is targeted at these outcomes.

Therefore, we present our financial summary to illustrate how our spending is allocated in these two critical areas. In FY23, it was almost a 50/50 even split between the two.

While the majority of Healthy Male’s income is sourced via the Male Health Initiative, we have made inroads into other project income sources with significant donations being sourced from the Men of Malvern, the Men’s Health Awareness Ball and involvement in a number of research projects.

Health education

A continued focus on health professional education and information resources ensured that webinars, education modules, clinical resources and research reviews were produced over the year.

Conference attendance and presentations continue to occur, however, these are increasingly in a digital format.

Health promotion

Promotional activities cover a wide range of outputs for Healthy Male. With the increased focus on coverage via digital platforms, we produced more social media content than ever before.

Men’s Health Week was once again a major focus and a great success, producing valuable content on loneliness and social isolation, that continues to gain interest.

Unfortunately, due to the financial pressures being felt across the country, we printed the final copy of the much-loved The Male magazine. With distribution cost increases we could no longer justify its existence, even though we know it will be missed.

The challenge for Healthy Male in 23/24 will be to continue to maintain our high quality of evidence-based information in a financial climate that sees us facing increasing costs, increasing need for our work, stagnant Government funding and the need to adapt to provide men’s health resources and information that has a beneficial financial outcome so that we can continue to be true to our mission.
