MAN v FAT team up with JAAQ


MAN v FAT, the UK’s leading male weight loss programme, is set to team up with top wellbeing platform JAAQ to support its members and their mental health.

As part of an exciting new partnership between the two organisations, MAN v FAT members will be able to access a vibrant website crammed full of supportive guidance and content to assist them on their efforts to improve their mental health.

And, as well as JAAQ’s incredible portfolio of content, the unique partnership between MAN v FAT and JAAQ means that there will be a private link only for our own community.

Players and staff will be able to upload their own 30-90 second videos for the community to see – unless they chose to share outside of that with JAAQ as well. 

JAAQ’s Head of Commercial Growth, Simon Jay said: “Having weighed over 21 stone at my largest and used football as part of my weight loss journey many years ago, I know first-hand the impact MAN v FAT will be having on the lives of so many men.

“The way the team have built such a strong community of likeminded men up and down the country in such a scalable, yet impactful way, is so inspiring.

“Personally, and as a company, we couldn’t be prouder to support MAN v FAT and its members on their weight loss journeys by providing immediate access to tens of thousands of questions and answers on a host of topics from mental health to diversities of all kinds.

“The bespoke JAAQ platform for MAN v FAT contains more than 100 topics on all things related to mental health, neurodiversity, race, and much more – providing immediate answers to people within seconds. It gives members a totally anonymous and confidential place to ask the questions most on their mind, and seek help much easier in their journeys.

“It helps us understand ourselves, our emotions, and makes us better at supporting those close to us – our family, friends, and fellow team members.

“More than 1 million questions have been answered on the JAAQ platform so far, and we’re so proud to be working with MAN v FAT to get more early support out to thousands of members, instantly.”

The versatile JAAQ platform provides content in a highly consumable fashion, with answers broken down into 30-90 seconds video clips, making the ease of learning and accessibility much greater.

Members can search for a specific question, browse topics, and share content with those closest to them.
