Menself+ This organisation is a Registered Charity
The idea of improving the health and well-being of men in Scotland hatched while Jim Malcomson was living abroad in Australia where he worked with a range of male health projects. Jim came back to Scotland for family reasons and after a few months’ discussions had started between him and a mate about the gap in services for men and this led to Jim establishing MENSELF + as a social enterprise using a programme called “PIT STOP” which he brought back from Australia.
After consulting with over 150 men, the name was quickly re-named MOT 4 MEN, and in the coming years, it has been developed significantly and has recorded over 5,000 participants, male and female, in Scotland.The success with this programme has enabled MENSELF +’s development. They now operate from the East End of GLASGOW, Jim’s birthplace. Now in 2025, after global crisis after crisis, MENSELF + has transitioned into a Charity where they deliver a wide range of support services for males and females.
