Men's Group

This fortnightly group offers a welcoming space for men to come together, connect, and talk openly about what’s going on in their lives. Whether you’re dealing with something specific or just want a place to check in and be around others, you’re very welcome. The group is informal, supportive, and non-clinical. There’s no pressure to speak if you don’t feel ready, you can simply listen and take things at your own pace. It’s about creating a respectful environment where everyone feels comfortable being themselves. All conversations are confidential, and the group is supported by local volunteers who help facilitate a safe and inclusive space for everyone who attends. For more information, or if you have any questions before attending, please get in touch at
