A mouse took a stroll through the deep dark wood…🐭🌳

Join Mouse on a daring adventure through the deep, dark wood in Tall Stories’ magical, musical adaptation of the classic picture book by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler – celebrating 25 years on stage in 2026.

Searching for hazelnuts, Mouse meets the cunning Fox, the eccentric old Owl and the high-spirited Snake. Will the story of the terrifying Gruffalo save Mouse from ending up as dinner for these hungry woodland creatures? After all, there’s no such thing as a Gruffalo – is there?

Thinking about attending one of our groups, but not sure if you’re ready to talk?

At our groups we have the 'talking ball' which is great for making sure that guys never feel any pressure to talk.

It gets passed around the circle to each guy when it's their turn to talk, if you're not ready to talk, simply pass it along.

You can take it all at your own pace. ❤️

Visit our website to find your nearest group or drop us an email to info@andysmanclub.co.uk to join our online groups.

No fees. No booking. No registration. Open to any man 18+, every Monday 7-9PM, (excluding bank holidays).

What Is The Exchange Recovery College?

At The Exchange Recovery College we take an educational rather that clinical approach towards recovery from mental and physical health problems. Courses and workshops are co-designed, produced and delivered by people who have a lived experience of mental health and who are trained in the educational approach. These Individuals work together with clinicians and other health professionals to produce courses that provide information and knowledge around mental health conditions and also teach self-management skills and tools.

The recovery college offers a learning technique which is probably different from anything that people have experienced before. This is a model using the idea that we can learn to recover from, and better manage our own mental health because other people have learnt to do so before us. The recovery college teaches the individual to self-manage. They start taking control of themselves and their life and it gives the power back to them because they aren’t just a patient any more. They are a student. This takes them from being someone who may feel broken and in need of fixing to somebody who has made the decision to move forward and is in the process of learning how to do so. The Exchange Recovery College is about looking beyond someone’s mental health diagnosis and enabling them to identify and work towards achieving their own hopes and dreams. We believe in acceptance not judgement.

We welcome absolutely anybody and everybody into The Exchange Recovery College and offer individuals the opportunity to try something new, to spread their wings and learn new skills and to give themselves a chance to get better in ways that they didn’t think they could. Although it can be a bit scary the first visit, everyone is really lovely and supportive.

People come to the College for a variety of reasons. Some may want to get out of the house or perhaps they want to make some form of connection and that is fine. Others may want to learn more about specific illnesses or because they enjoy building on their existing knowledge and as long as we can support them to achieve their goals we are happy to do so.
