Matty Lewis

Head of Foundation
Matty Lewis

Matty's charity journey started with the creation of Menfulness, a men’s mental health charity based in York, run by 5 volunteer trustees. 6 years of experience with Menfulness allowed Matty to create a strategy for the Fortus Foundation to address those challenges, remove the barriers for volunteers to access funding, and ensure that the hard working volunteers behind these small charities and community groups can focus their time and energy where it’s needed – not on long convoluted funding applications and impact reporting.

Outside of the Fortus Foundation and Menfulness, Matty has a son, George, who is his best friend. He loves Rugby League and football and also supports the York Knights with player welfare. Matty's current music playlists include Sam Fender and Noah Kahan.
