All Of The Activities That We Host Are FREE To Attend!
We're building a community where men can show up as themselves. No judgement, no expectations, just real support when you need it.
Founded in Manchester by Jamie Dennis after he experienced what it felt like to be truly heard for the first time. What started around a kitchen table has grown into a movement supporting over 1,200 men a year across the UK.
We're not therapists. We're not here to fix you. We're just creating spaces where men can be real with each other. Where showing emotion isn't weakness, where crying doesn't make you less of a man, where asking for support is strength.

Mandem HelpA glimpse of what happens when you walk through the door. Photos from across the meetups, the full wall has plenty more.
You don't need to prove anything, have it all figured out, or bring the right gear. Just turn up. Whether you're going through something heavy or you just want to connect with other men, there's space for you here. We run free activities every week across Manchester and Wolverhampton, talking circles, hikes, football, workshops, all of it. No barriers, no judgement, no forms to fill. Just brotherhood and a brew.

The highest award a voluntary group can receive in the UK. It belongs to every man who has ever pulled up a seat.

Mandem Meetup was named Project of the Year at the National Men and Boys Conference by the Association for Male Health and Wellbeing.

Sharing the Mandem story on air, men’s mental health, brotherhood, and showing up.
One email a week, straight from the Mandem. What’s on across Manchester and Wolverhampton, how the work is going, and now and then something worth reading. Whoever you are and however you found us.
