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

Free, confidential and anonymous support for anyone aged 18 or over who is struggling, affected by suicide or worried about someone else.

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

Talking and listening groups where men can regularly check in, share what is going on and build their mental fitness alongside other men.

Groups meet in selected locations across the UK and online. Talk Club also offers a free app and additional support for men who want to take the next step.

Two Pints Deep

A men's mental health and suicide prevention charity, made for the average man, by the average man. They meet men where they already gather — barbershops, five-a-side, the pub — making it easier to talk, and pointing them toward the right support before things get worse.

They run free-to-attend events across the UK with low barriers to entry, and help fund the communities and charities they signpost to.

MAN v FAT

A supportive community for men who want to lose weight, become more active and improve their wellbeing alongside teammates working towards similar goals.
