My Croydon‑born wife lured me to South London with the promise of her mum’s excellent cooking. But what actually won me over were Croydon’s green spaces and its surprisingly beautiful edges that spill into the Surrey Hills. Becoming a father has been an incredible new chapter for our family, but it also tested my mental resilience in ways I didn’t expect. For the first time in my life, I found myself struggling with anxiety. With my wife’s support, I carved out one quiet ritual: a weekly walk in nature. Those walks brought me a sense of peace and helped me build a deeper relationship with the land around me. Talking to friends also helped, and saying the worries out loud made them feel just a little lighter. I hope our walks can offer the same sense of relief and connection to men from all walks of life, helping us breathe a little deeper, feel a little stronger, and carry our loads with a little more ease.
Hi, I’m James, the walk leader for MWAT Coventry. A walking group for men looking for a safe, relaxed space to support each other mentally and physically. I first joined MWAT in 2024 and quickly realised how important it is. There’s a lot of pressure on men to “toughen up” and hide how they’re really feeling, which can make it hard to open up. Walking together makes it easier shoulder to shoulder, not face to face with no pressure, no judgment, just fresh air and good company. Come walk, talk, laugh, and connect, dogs are very welcome too! Whether you’re looking for a mental reset, some company, or just a way to get moving, you’ll find a friendly, like-minded group here. Our goal is simple: break the stigma, build connections, and remind men they’re never alone. Follow us to join a walk or find out more, every step counts, for your body and your mind!
Hi, my name is Si and I am the walk leader for Crewe MWAT. Reason for the group, I've struggled with making friends as an adult male and also struggled with my physical health due to stomach issues and fibromyalgia. I quit drinking in 2012 and my social circle disappeared. I want to create something for men in my town that brings us together and gets us to help each other more. I love walking and used to hike miles in my youth so when I saw the success of MWAT in Sandbach I knew this was something I wanted to get involved in. I don't drive and therefore have no access to other groups near me, so I reached out to start one in Crewe. Thank you
