How it works here
What To Expect
We run talking circles across the city, from Deansgate and Withington to Eccles, Harpurhey and Chorlton. A talking circle is a peer-led space where men say what is actually going on in their lives. No fixing, no advice, no judgement. Just men listening to each other properly, which for a lot of blokes is the first time anyone has.
If sitting in a circle is not where you want to start, that is completely fine. Plenty of men come through the football, the hikes, the chess club or the gym sessions first, and get to the talking later. Some never do, and that is alright too. Turning up is the bit that matters.
You do not need to be in crisis to come. Most men here are not. They are just tired of carrying things on their own.
