Our group offers men who are looking to improve their mental health, the chance to come together in a safe, supportive, and welcoming space. We hold weekly football sessions to provide a consistent support system and non – judgmental environment, so members can openly share their experiences. We want to empower our members to actively participate in their mental health journeys and reduce the stigma around mental illness. Where we can, we want to increase social and support networks and reduce isolation and loneliness.

Our group aims to be a safe place for carers to offload their problems and support each other, knowing they will not be judged. We have all had personal experience of caring for someone close to us, and so we understand what it can be like supporting someone through a challenging treatment path. We have occasional speakers, and try to be involved in local decision making to help improve the situations of carers and their loved ones. We also have speaker meetings running alongside our usual group, four times a year—the FIRST Wednesdays in March, June, September and December.  Same venue and times.
