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.

Next session: ThursdayEverybody welcome. Meets on the last Friday of every month. 10:00 – 11:30 Group Facilitators: Megan, Tessa & Sophie Entrance Our Space Tessa & Megan What inspired you to start your group? – We were inspired to start the group because we understand how challenging being a parent can be. We want to offer a safe, warm and relaxed space for parents and carers to unwind and feel able to share the realities. What does the building look like? How will I know I’m in the right place? – Our session is based at Chard Community Hub in the Boden Centre. We are a big red brick building with the Boden Centre sign across the top of the door. Is there parking or public transport nearby? – Parking outside on the street (free for an hour). A car park is further down the road with a small charge. Any doors, buttons, or steps I should know about? – The door will be unlocked whilst the session is open, but we are upstairs. There is a working lift, so completely accessible. Where can buggies be left? Are there toilets/changing facilities? – Buggies can be bought upstairs in the lift and stored in the main room. We have lots of toilets, including a disabled toilet and a baby changing table downstairs. What should I expect when I walk in? – Expect a friendly welcome! There are no expectations for the group. You will be greeted by one of the PANDAS team, offered a drink and welcomed to join us.
Hi, my name is Scott and I am the walk leader for Chelmsford. Following my own struggles with mental health and finding solace in nature, hiking and talking with friends, I decided I wanted to get involved with helping more men find their peace and support through getting outside and being part of a community that is open, friendly and most importantly confidential.
NEW WALK STARTING WEDNESDAY 11th MARCH 2026 We are Ian & Terry and we are the co-leads for the Cheltenham Men Walking & Talking Group. Our interest in men’s wellbeing comes from lived experience rather than theory. Mental health and emotional struggle have been part of our personal and professional journeys in different ways, and we’ve both seen how easily men can end up carrying heavy things quietly. Through family experiences, work, business, and life more broadly, we’ve learned that many men don’t lack strength, they lack space. Space to slow down, to be heard, or simply to be alongside others without pressure to explain or perform. Life can look fine on the outside while feeling very different on the inside. We don’t believe men need fixing or ready-made answers. We believe that some of the most important conversations happen side-by-side, outdoors, at walking pace. Sometimes talking helps. Sometimes listening helps. Sometimes just turning up is enough. Together, we co-host the Cheltenham Men Walking and Talking group. Our aim is simple: to create relaxed, welcoming walks where men can show up as they are, connect with others, and not feel they have to carry things alone.

Hi my name is Mike and I’m the Chester walk leader. I have been taking part in the Chester walks since the spring of 2022. It came about after my children left for university and my wife and I decided we would divorce. Overnight my world turned upside down and left me needing to rebuild. The Chester walks provide an opportunity to meet up with others and stay connected. They also provide an opportunity for mutual support where there is no judgement and a chance to be yourself. I was welcomed into the group by Mark the previous leader and I aim to offer the same warm and supportive welcome to anyone who would like to come along.
My name is Keith, I'm 53 and Chippenham born and bred. There is nothing like MWAT in my area at the moment and I think it would be beneficial for the local community as mens mental health and wellbeing is seldom spoken about, although things are improving. I love walking too, it's the most underrated exercise out there with so many benefits and combining the 'walking and talking' together is a win/win combination for both physical and mental health.We can also put the world to rights at the same time! I look forward to getting out of my comfort zone, getting out there and putting one foot in front of the other!'
