Another brilliant evening in the Houben Centre for our Mental Health & Wellbeing Workshop.

Once again, over 50 people came together to experience mindfulness meditation and learn practical strategies to strengthen their mental wellbeing. The energy in the room was powerful — people taking time out for themselves, supporting one another, and building real skills they can use every day.

We’re back this Wednesday 4th March at 6:45pm.

If you’d like to join us, you’re very welcome. Come along, take a breath, and invest in yourself.

November is Men’s Health Month, a time to highlight all aspects of men’s wellbeing with a special focus on mental health.

To night, we’re shining a light on the unique challenges men face and encouraging more open, supportive conversations.

This evening I was honoured to shared my personal story and offered valuable insights on recognising when someone is struggling, practical coping strategies, and where to find help.

This informal conversation aims to break down stigma and remind every man that asking for help is a sign of strength not weakness.
