Important Update
Last year, we ran fortnightly therapy-style sessions for men, alongside monthly MANUP? Talks. Different formats, same principle. No pressure, no fixing, just men engaging in ways that suited them.
Alongside that, MANUP? Mountain continued to grow, getting men outdoors and into conversations that often happen more naturally when you are walking side by side.
This year, we are building properly.
From February, our sessions move to every single Thursday, 18:15–19:15.
No waiting lists.
No agenda.
No charge. Ever.
We fund these because access should not depend on a wallet or a postcode waiting list.
Our sessions are different. We do not tell men what to feel or diagnose them. We educate, share experience, and give men tools they can actually use to help themselves.
We are continuing to work with James Elliott and bringing in Alex Williams, who will deliver sessions every third Thursday. Alex is also a Senior Mental Health Practitioner with over 20 years’ NHS experience, currently working in primary care.
On the first Thursday of each month, we will also be bringing in more researchers and specialists to talk openly about men’s mental health and what actually helps.
We are doubling our MANUP? Mountain trips and pushing into more locations across England and Wales. Streets, town centres, workplaces. Anywhere men already are.
If you know a location that works, or you can help open a door locally, tell us.
Most men will talk if they know you will listen.
That is what we do.
And we are only getting started.
P.S. Check our feed. We are showing that men do talk.
