Men Walking and Talking

In-person · Kenilworth

Hi, my name is Mark and I am the walk leader for the Kenilworth group of MWAT. Having dealt with my own mental health struggles in 2019, I recognise how vitally important groups like this can be. This group has been running since September 2022, meeting every week for a relaxed one hour walk at a steady pace. There’s no agenda, no pressure – just a group of blokes getting together for a stroll and a chat. There is often a perception that if you come along on our walks that you have to talk about your mental health, I can promise you that this isn't the case. Conversation is different every week, sometimes light and cheery and sometimes life's ups and downs. Either way, it’s a supportive, safe space where all men are welcome, whether you want to open up or just enjoy a bit of company. We are very lucky in Kenilworth in that we have some wonderful walking routes that vary through the seasons, walking around Kenilworth Castle and the surrounding fields, a stroll along Kenilworth Greenway or just a wander around the town itself. I work as an engineer in Leamington and enjoy weekends away in my camper van. The outdoors are a huge part of my life and I enjoy hiking and getting into the Mountains of Wales. In December of 2022 I was honoured to be made a Director of Men Walking and Talking. I look forward to seeing you on a walk soon. Thank you

In-person · Aylesbury

Hi I’m Scott and I’m the Walk Leader for the Aylesbury group. I’ve been a walk leader with MWAT for just over a year now and seen the great things this brotherhood of men has achieved. Having suffered from mental health issues myself in the past I know how important it is to have somewhere you can go where you can feel lifted and loved. I heard about MWAT while attending the National Counselling & Psychotherapy Society conference in 2024 and loved what they talked about. I knew there was a need for this style of organisation where I lived. We offer friendship, brotherhood and a shoulder to cry on if needed. We believe it’s ok to say you’re not ok, that big boys do cry, as men we’re too often told otherwise. Come join us on our weekly walk and join the growing number of men around the country walking and talking.

In-person · Cambridge

Hi, I’m Paul, a Walk Leader with Men Walking And Talking. After losing my mum 15 years ago, I’ve lived with ongoing mental health struggles. I also understand the daily work it takes to stay well, and I’m proud to be sober for over 5 years. I’m an avid outdoors person and I love camping. Being outside has been genuinely therapeutic for me, and I really enjoy getting out into nature with my son and daughter. I also love going for walks with my wife. Working in the construction industry, I see first-hand how many men are carrying stress, anxiety, grief, and struggles in silence. I wanted to start a walk to genuinely give guys a place to feel safe, welcomed, and supported. Men’s mental health is a real priority for me. These walks are a space to talk, listen, or just keep moving together. Look forward to welcoming you on our next walk. Paul.

Men Walking and Talking

In-person · Beeston

My name is Mike, I’m 28 and I’m the walk leader for MWAT Beeston and MWAT Long Eaton. After losing my dad in 2021, I struggled more than I ever admitted. I had grown up believing men should stay strong and keep things to themselves, so I bottled everything up until it became overwhelming. Finding a walking and talking group for men changed that. It showed me the power of simply being heard. Now, I want to help create spaces where men can talk openly, support each other, and know they are not alone.

Men Walking and Talking

In-person · Sandbach

My name is Dave, and I’m the walk leader for Sandbach, Cheshire. We started our walks in October 2023, and what began as a simple step forward became something far more powerful than I ever imagined. At the time, I needed support just as much as anyone else. Life had tested me, showing me how dark and isolated it can feel. But through walking and talking alongside other men, I found something different — I found light. I found understanding. I found strength in shared experience. I’ve watched the men who joined those early walks grow in confidence, stepping forward to lead walks themselves and support others — including me during my own difficult moments. That’s the power of men showing up for each other. It reminded me that even in isolation, we are never truly alone. Walking taught me to stop giving my energy to the negatives I cannot control, and instead focus on moving forward — even on the darkest days. Progress doesn’t require giant leaps. It starts with one step. One decision. One conversation. If you’re struggling, know this: there is strength in walking beside others who understand. There is hope in putting one foot in front of the other. It all starts with one step. Take it with us.

In-person · East Hertfordshire

Hi there, I'm Rajesh, the Walk Leader for Bishop's Stortford in Hertfordshire. My age has recently flipped into the next decade, and with that, thoughts and concerns plagued by many my age have surfaced. Growing up, I've always had a specific set of dreams and ambitions, with some reaching back to my twenties. Some however, still remain elusive, and with that, the weight of concern, negativity, and foreboding can feel like a real daily hurdle. I'm a compassionate person, so whenever I bump into someone that may mention similar worries and stresses, I find it difficult to listen to, and hard not to provide support so that they can recognise the best in themselves. We all have our own peculiar, and perhaps sometimes annoying traits (me included), but we also all have something to offer, not least to our closest inner circles. Over the past 10 years, I can feel how men's mental health is being given the airtime and focus that it should, but like other scenarios, sometimes the best people that understand you are those that are most like you. Bishop's Stortford is a typical commuter belt town, and the trains into London are probably packed with men that may be living the same pattern as me with similar challenges, hopes, and wishes. If you're in a place where you feel just being around other like-minded men may help, or you want to ask, vent or compare, or if you just want to get your daily steps in, then give the walk a try. I'm really looking forward to meeting you soon.

In-person · Bloxwich

Hi everybody, my name is Brian the reason why I would like to start a group with Men Walking And Talking is because I myself have mental health (EUPD and ADHD). I understand the vulnerabilities of why it can be hard for men to open up and find help. I would like to create a safe place for men to come and open up only if they want to, or just to listen, or just for company. There is no judgement, no preaching, just a comfortable safe place for us men to gather. Looking forwrad to seeing you all soon.

Men Walking and Talking

In-person · Blyth

Hello, my name is Gordon. I am 39 years old (with the big 40 coming in August 2026), a dad to three children, and I live in Blyth, Northumberland, right on the seafront. I absolutely love it here. Nothing feels more like home than being by the sea. We are incredibly fortunate in Northumberland and often take for granted just how much is on our doorstep. From relaxed coastal walks to more challenging routes, open spaces and cracking views, there is so much to explore. One of my personal aims for 2026 is to experience more of what our county has to offer and, hopefully, to share some of those walks with others as part of Men Walking and Talking in Blyth. I have worked in the automotive industry for the past twelve years, and before that in hospitality. Like many men, my working life has involved pressure, deadlines and expectations, alongside the usual challenges that come with life outside of work. Over time, this has affected my mental health and also helped me to recognise how important it is to have space to talk, listen, and feel understood. I have made mistakes along the way. I have made poor decisions and, at times, hurt people I care about. Owning that has not always been easy, but it has taught me the value of honesty, accountability, and learning from others. Being able to talk things through, and just as importantly to listen, has helped me grow and continues to shape how I show up for myself and for others. In 2020, I lost my mum, and that experience changed me. I am still learning years on. I have also lost close friends in earlier years, which has further reinforced how important it is that men have places where they can simply turn up and not have to carry everything on their own. I came across Men Walking and Talking on Instagram and immediately respected what they stand for. When I realised there were no local walks in the North East, I got in touch, and that conversation led to the Blyth group being set up. There is no pressure to talk on our walks, and nothing is forced. You can walk quietly, listen, or speak if you feel like it. There is no judgement, no fixing, and no expectations. Just a group of men walking side by side, getting some fresh air, and taking a break from the noise of everyday life. Please feel free to drop me a message or simply turn up to one of the weekly walks. Everyone is welcome. I believe that walking side by side makes it easier to talk, to listen, and to realise we do not have to face life on our own.

In-person · Birmingham

Hi, my name's Matt and I’m proud to be the Bournville Walk Leader. I'm walking because men's mental health matters — more than we often admit out loud. For too long, many of us have been taught to stay silent, to "tough it out," or to carry our struggles alone. But silence doesn't make the weight any lighter. I'm walking to challenge that silence. This walk represents a commitment to honesty, vulnerability, and connection. It's a reminder that asking for help is not a weakness — it's courage. I want other men to know that it's okay to open up, to struggle, and to heal at their own pace. No one should feel they have to fight their battles alone. We walk together to remind every man: you're not alone. One step for strength, one step for support, one step for hope!

In-person · Brighton

My name is Kristian and I am the Walk leader for Brighton MWAT. After a few years of working on myself — including attending a men’s retreat — I came to really appreciate the value of open conversations about mental health between men. When I looked for a group to join in Brighton, I was surprised to find there wasn’t much available. There are plenty of spaces for women, and they seem far better served when it comes to this kind of support. After a bit of searching, I came across Men Walking & Talking and thought it was a brilliant idea — simple, accessible, and something I’d love to bring to my own community. So I’ve decided to start something similar here in Brighton.
