Hi, m y name is Barry and I am 44 years old and I am the Walk Leader for the Paisley Walk For the last 13 years I have had my issues leading to mental health problems. I’m twice divorced which really started it all for me and losing my dog of nearly 14 years and 2 close family members in the last 2 years has brought its struggles. I grew up loving football, watching and playing whenever I could. This was my happy place. But I found myself unable to get out the house to go a play amateur or even 5 a sides with friends. I was hugely frustrated at the gym. Getting out a walk by myself or with a friend or two really helped me take a breath and take a look at what was going on for me. I was lucky enough to work on a project that encouraged getting out into the outdoors to help build relationships within families, confidence and skill levels in children young people and adults and improving the mental health and wellbeing. Glencoe is my happy place but just a wander locally works a treat for me too. I made the move to start this group in Paisley because I believe it could work for so many men here. The west side of Scotland, men are notorious for keeping it in and just getting on with it. My aim is to build a safe community for men to come along and have a general chat, or get some things off their chest or just come along for the walk and get outside for a bit. Look forward to bide oot with you.

Next session: TuesdayPeerTalk Peer Support Groups are open to anyone (over 18) who lives with depression. The groups are facilitated by two trained volunteers, but they do not give advice or tell you what to do - they facilitate the space to enable those who come along to share what's going on for them, and to receive support from others who have a lived experience of depression. They're friendly groups, a safe place to talk in confidence, be yourself, accepted and supported in a non-judgemental place. There's no need to book or to be referred - you just come along. We offer tea / coffee after the meeting and most people stay behind to chat.

NEW WALK STARTING FRIDAY 7th AUGUST 2026 Hi, my name is Matthew and I’m a Walk Leader at Men Walking and Talking Pegswood . A little bit about me - I’m approaching 50, am married and have a son who’s 26 and lives with his fiancée. I work in the most boring and hated industry in the world - insurance. Sorry but it pays the bills! Outside of work, I like to walk with my wife, Kelly, and our black Labrador, Max. Living in Northumberland, we have some of the finest hills, forests and coastlines in the country, so there’s plenty to explore. So why did I want to set this group up? Well as men, the historical impression has always been that in the face of struggle, we should keep quiet and get on with it, and that admitting you’re struggling is a sign of weakness. Unfortunately, that fear of feeling less of a man can be all consuming and can have devastating effects on us as men as well as our friends, family and loved ones. The fact is though, we all struggle with our mental health at times, and admitting to it or talking about it is absolutely not a sign of weakness. Personally, I feel it to be a sign of strength. I wanted to set this group up with my friend Bob as we both have the same vision of creating a safe space where men can simply walk and talk with no fear of judgement. There is absolutely no pressure on anyone to talk if they don’t feel comfortable. If you want to just walk with us then that’s fine too. Hi, I’m Bob. I ’ m a Deputy Walk Leader at Men Walking and Talking Pegswood I wanted to start this group because I know how isolating life can feel when struggling with mental health. Walking has helped me clear my mind and I wanted to help others to do the same. Me and Matt got talking one day and found that we were both of exactly the same mindset so we decided to do something about it. As a result, we set up the Men Walking and Talking Pegswood Group. I feel that creating a safe and supportive space where men can get outdoors, talk if they want to or simply walk alongside others who understand. No pressure, no judgement, just good company and helping each other one step at a time.
