A Message from the Founders of MANUP?

At MANUP?, we are committed to providing unwavering support and resources to promote men’s mental health across the UK. We have built our reputation on trust, integrity, and our positive impact on the community.

It has come to our attention that an individual using the name “MAN UP” has been active in Hemel Hempstead, Hertfordshire. We wish to clarify that this entity is not associated with our charity, MANUP?, a registered and recognised organisation dedicated to men’s mental health.

Trademark Approval and Objection Phase

We are pleased to announce that our trademark for MANUP? has been officially approved. However, it remains in the 'objection phase,' which is a normal part of the trademark registration process. During this time, we hold the exclusive rights to the "MANUP?" name in connection with our charitable activities.

Concerns About Misrepresentation

The individual operating under the "MAN UP" name in Hemel Hempstead has acknowledged that the similarity in names between their operations and ours could lead to confusion. It is crucial to clarify that their use of "MAN UP" and any claims to a trademark are not associated with our charity, MANUP?. The lack of clarity in distinguishing their activities from ours is misleading and can potentially confuse and mislead our supporters and the public.

Allegations and Clarification

We have been made aware of specific allegations concerning the actions of the individual using the "MAN UP" name. We wish to make it clear that these actions and the individual are in no way connected to our charity, MANUP?. The potential for confusion due to the similarity in names is a serious concern and we are actively working to address this issue to prevent any mis-association.

Our Stance

We take the protection of our identity and the trust of our community very seriously. Using a name similar to ours by any other entity is unauthorised and misleading. This can detract from our mission and the crucial support we offer.

We are taking appropriate steps to resolve this situation and continue to serve our community without disruption. We encourage all our supporters and the general public to ensure they engage with the genuine MANUP? Charity when seeking information or support.

Should you have any concerns or need clarification on our initiatives, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Thank you for your understanding and continued support.
