Winter soups last night for the men's group 🍲

The guys enjoyed a red lentil and veg soup, a leek, carrot and barley soup and a chunky vegetable soup.

After enjoying these the guys got recipe cards and fresh ingredients to get hands on making these soups at home. 👐

This was a follow-up to previous sessions with the guys in how to use a slow cooker and with the weather due to get colder as we approach winter we wanted to have 3x hearty warming soups to keep us all warm 😊

Last night the men's group did some festive pumpkin carving 🎃🎃

Great craic and banter throughout and our winner was the first photo below of a very talented man who did both a tree and a face!

The runners up and the carving are also shown showing men coming together and connecting 😊

Fancy joining us? We meet at New Life City Centre every Thursday at 7pm

Last night the Shankill mens group paid a visit to Larne to see how the group was getting on, enjoy some pizza and have some craic with a quiz night.

Well the Larne group may have won the trophy last night both groups won a night of craic and connection!

'til next time - the Shankill group will be studying encyclopedias each week to get a win 😂

Both men's group meet weekly with a group in Shankill and a group in Larne every Thursday evening 7-9pm and welcome new members. But seriously any men who know things join the Shankill group and help us redeem ourselves 😂💪

👣 Divis mountain completed with the walking group 👣

Great walk up Divis today with the group and the weather even stayed dry for us until we got to the car par

Wee buns! 😎 But sadly no buns were ate today as the cafe was closed! 'til next time

The rain didn't dampen our spirits at the men's group last night 🌧️🌧️

We managed to do a barbecue between rain showers and as always had great craic together.

With a special thanks to Stuart who hosted us at Shankill Community Gardens 👏

Last night the men's group took a guided walk with Nev round some of Shankills murals hearing more about history and events in the local area.

Really engaging, informative and we all came away having learned something new!

The group meets every Thursday at 7pm in New Life City Centre and welcome any man aged 18+ who wants to join us 😊
