We're not a community. These are.

ANDYSMANCLUB

Free, peer-led talking groups where men aged 18 and over can speak openly about whatever is happening in their lives, without judgement or pressure.

Groups meet across the UK every Monday at 7pm, except bank holidays, with online groups also available. You do not need a referral or appointment and can talk as much or as little as you choose.

ANDYSMANCLUB is peer-led and does not provide immediate or professional mental health support.

CALM

CALM's helpline and webchat are available across the UK from 5pm to midnight every day, alongside practical information to help you through difficult moments.

Talk Club
