A day of football, music and food at The Artisan, raising money for men's mental health.
- Sunday 27 June 2027
- The Artisan
Cow Roast, Tring Road, HP23 5RF - In aid of Hertfordshire Mind and Samaritans, or your nominated charity
Until Sunday 27 June 2027
225 days, 10 hours, 45 minutes to go.
Talk.
Suicide is a subject not spoken about as much as it possibly should be. Too many lives are lost needlessly.
Berkhamsted Cares is a day of sport, entertainment and conversation with a serious purpose: to help make sure no man in our community feels he has to face his struggles alone.
We want to challenge the silence around men's mental health and build a town where asking for help is understood as a sign of strength. We hope the connections made on the day carry on long after it.
What's on
Sunday 27 June 2027, across The Artisan's bar, grill and garden. Football by day, talent by night.

The day starts on the pitch. Walking football keeps the game at a walking pace, so it's as much about taking part as winning.

Three artists are performing at Berkhamsted Cares.
Matthew Brown
Singer songwriter
Matthew is a self-producing singer songwriter who has been releasing music for the past two years. His background is classical: his parents are opera singers, and he spent five years as a chorister at St John's College, Cambridge.
He began recording and producing covers during COVID and now studies sound engineering at Surrey University, graduating next year. His dreams are to make and perform his music full time, tour the world and make music with others. Small dreams... He loves all sorts of music, with heavy influences from Coldplay, John Mayer and Sam Fender.
Stanley Kaleniuk
Performer and composer
Stanley graduated from the UoC Triple Threat course last September and is represented by VSA. Since graduating he has been auditioning for a range of roles, while composing and taking on some small musical direction work on the side.
He has written one show, Cupidity!, which has had small showings in Cornwall and Arundel, and a soundtrack for Street Strikers 2, a video game in development. He is now writing his newest show, Everfield.

Details of our next act are coming soon.
Women supporting men
Partners, mums, sisters, daughters, friends and colleagues are a big part of Berkhamsted Cares. Women supporting men is about building a caring community around the men in their lives.
It means noticing when someone isn't himself, starting the conversation, and making it easier for him to ask for help.
