Men Walking and Talking

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.

Men Walking and Talking

In-person · Leicester

Hi, I'm Prab, the Leicester Walk Leader. I am an ADI (Approved Driving Instructor), and now working in my seventeenth year. In these years I have gained experience in teaching and coaching students to learn to drive. It has been my privilege to take so many students from start to finish in their journey to learn to drive over the years. This has helped me develop a knowledge about helping people, especially those with special needs. And I have many years’ experiences also with teaching students with cognitive and physical disabilities. I also have experience of being in a bad place mentally, when the world can feel so hard to deal with, and I’m here to tell you that you don’t have to carry it alone. Sharing my journey to help you navigate yours. Let’s talk, heal, and grow together. Your story isn't over yet.

Men Walking and Talking

In-person · Nuneaton

Hi, I’m Faz, 45 years old and I am the Walk Leader for this group Born and raised in Nuneaton. Although I’ve had the opportunity to live in other places, I eventually returned to Nuneaton to be closer to family and friends. After a few years on my own and purchasing my own home, I met someone and got married. I spent 16 years working for West Midlands Ambulance Service, starting in patient transport, then moving to high dependency care, and eventually working on the frontline of emergency services. Currently, I work for local government, where I’m part of a team that helps people live independently by providing home adaptations. Over the years, I’ve faced my own mental health challenges, particularly after the loss of my mum, which brought on periods of anxiety and depression. I eventually sought help and began therapy, which was a crucial step in my journey. More recently, following the breakdown of my 9-year marriage and the process of rebuilding my life, I’ve become increasingly focused on mental health—both my own and that of others. Through my experiences at work and in my personal life, I’ve come to see just how vital mental health is. A friend and manager introduced me to MWAT (Men Walking and Talking), and the idea instantly resonated with me. When I realised there wasn’t a local group in my area, I decided to step up as a walk leader, creating a space where men who might feel isolated or simply enjoy the outdoors could connect. At MWAT, you’re welcome to walk, talk, listen, or simply be in the company of like-minded men.

Men Walking and Talking

In-person · Quinton

Hi. My name is Stephen and I am the walk leader for Quinton. The men walking and talking idea was introduced to me by my father-in-law who attends another group. I thought this would be something good to be involved with. Generally, men don’t talk to each other about their feelings or emotions. However, once I had joined the a group in Quinton and spoke to other men my age and younger, I found that we all need to talk about what's on your mind and just unwind. We all have stresses and different things going on in our lives. It doesn’t matter how small, once spoken about it does help. Just even chatting about football, sport, whatever. After the group had disbanded, I started to think I should do something to get this group back up and running again. I'm sure that other members feel the same way also. This is why I’ve made it my mission to restart the group and hopefully reach out to more people with this message: you are not alone, and it’s okay to feel this way. We can meet up, have a chat, and have a pleasant walk at the same time.

In-person · Wychavon

I’m Craig, the Walk Leader for Evesham. I’m a teacher working with young people with autism and anxiety. As an outdoors enthusiast, I grew up camping and have a love for all sorts of walking, camping, and just being outside, and this was a saviour during the lockdowns. I’ve had a tough few years myself with various challenges but found that talking really did help me, and so finding MWAT was the perfect fusion for me. I look forward to meeting you on one of our walks and listening to your stories.

Men 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 · Peterhead

My name is Cliff and I am the Walk Leader for the Aberdeenshire Men Walking & Talking Walk Having witnessed men close to me struggle with their mental health for different reasons, I looked for a way to support them and that was when I discovered MWAT online, but found there was none in the local area. I have found that walking and connecting with other people has really helped me with my own mental health. So, I was inspired to start a walk in Peterhead. I have no doubt that a non-judgemental, peer support walk that gets people out and moving will be beneficial for men in our area.

Men Walking and Talking

In-person · Wokingham

Hi, I’m Simon I’ve lived in Wokingham for about 26 years and have always enjoyed walking. My career has been mostly within health and social care. I’ve often found that when I get back from having a walk the stress of the day feels more manageable. Walking seems to give me time to process my thoughts. I don’t always find solutions, but I’ve had a great distraction to the worries of the day. Men’s health and wellbeing has always been something of importance to me, and I feel we are sometimes left behind, and it's assumed we cope. I hope to offer the Men of Wokingham a space, and some time for yourself and enjoy local walks in the company of others.

Men Walking and Talking

In-person · Penzance

Hi. My name is Phil and I'm the Penzance walk leader. I'm Cornish born and bred and have had a varied career ranging from a Whitewater Raft Guide in Scotland to a Police Officer in Kent. I managed to return home approximately 10 years ago following a relationship breakdown and now run a Glamping business and Livery Yard with my partner Verity. I've become aware of men's mental health issues from my own relationship breakdown and subsequent issues around communication and child contact. The more I learn to understand my own issues. The more I realise so many men are in such a similar position and how little help and support there is our there, but also how daunting seeking help can be. I came across Men Walking and Talking by chance on Instagram and immediately thought that is exactly the type of thing I would like to attend and what a brilliant concept, and so very simple. After some research and discussions with the MWAT directors I decided to start a Penzance Group and look forward very much to meeting and chatting with you on one of our walks.

Hi, I'm Callum, Walk Leader for Carluke. As someone who struggles with addiction and mental health, I want to encourage more men to speak openly about their struggles in life without feeling the need to isolate and deal with it on their own.
