Mayhill Swansea PANDAS

In-person · Mayhill

Everybody welcome Meets every Wednesday, fortnightly, 9:30am – 11:30am Group Facilitators: Hannah and Nicola What inspired you to start your group ? We already run a successful and well established PANDAs group at Swansea Children’s Centre. However, we recognised that families living on the opposite side of Swansea can find it difficult to travel to our centre. To make support more accessible and ensure that parents across the city can benefit, we identified a need to set up a group in our other children’s centre What does the building look like? Mountain View Childrens Centre shares a building with both a doctor’s surgery and a pharmacy. The centre can be accessed through the main entrance. Once inside, turn right and you will see the centre’s door. Please press the buzzer and staff will let you in. Is there parking nearby? There is a large car park and the centre is on a direct bus route from Swansea city centre Any doors, buzzers or buttons I need to be aware of? There is a main sliding door to access the building and then a door for the children’s centre with a buzzer What if I feel nervous? If you feel nervous about attending the group, we can support you in whatever way feels most comfortable. We can offer a phone call to chat through any questions, arrange a visit so you can look around the centre beforehand, or organise a home visit so you can meet us in advance.

Men Walking and Talking

In-person · Chelmsford

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.

Men Walking and Talking

In-person · Shrewsbury

Hi, my name is Andy and I am the walk leader for Shrewsbury MWAT. After battling with mental health problems during and after my military career I found that talking to others about my problems really helped me. Due to the stigma attached to men talking about their problems I wanted to be part of the solution not the problem and joined the group. Helping others talk about their mental health issues helps me with mine and leaves me feeling positive that I have made a difference. In late 2023, I became a Director of Men Walking and Talking.

Men Walking and Talking

In-person · Solihull

Hi, I’m Danny, welcome to Solihull's Men Walking and Talking. I’m 41 years old, a Dad of 1 and have been living in Shirley for the last few years. I wanted to join MWAT as I’ve had my own challenges with mental health over the years which I’m not afraid to talk about. Following a divorce 10 years ago, things hit me hard so I, like many, have had my fair share of ups and downs since. I’ve been a qualified coach for around 20 years, I lead, manage and motivate teams for a living, completed my Mental Health First Aid course and am utterly fascinated with the influencing the mind. I volunteer for the RAF where I support their veterans combat loneliness, so I’m looking forward to meeting you to chat about life and all the curve balls we get thrown our way. I've been running this group since October 2024 and it's been one of the best things I've ever done in my adult life. The rise in popularity has been incredible, the togetherness and bond of our brotherhood has been phenomenal to see form and development of individuals in the group has made it all worthwhile. Our unit has gotten so popular that we not only have broken the national record on several occasions, that we have now expanded to operating on Tuesday and Thursday evenings. To say I'm proud of our squad, is massively undervaluing the movement we are doing for mens health in Solihull! We look forward to seeing you soon. 💪 Together, Stronger 💪 Hi, I'm James! I'm forty-something with a wife, 2 children and a puppy. For work I'm a customer manager, but also a trained Mental Health First Aider, so this is an initiative that's important to me to support. In a previous career, I used to support long-term unemployed deal with their blockers and ultimately find new employment opportunities. Over the years, I had my own personal battles with depression, grief, marital and parenting struggles! I think my life experiences allow me to listen without judgement and share those experiences with others as appropriate. I joined the Solihull MWAT group on their second week, after several heavy nudges from my wonderful wife. I was struggling in the months leading up to it, and felt depression might be setting in again. Joining the group sorted me right out within weeks. I think it proved to me that an hour a week walking and talking to others made a World of difference. I'm now the Solihull walk leader deputy, predominantly on the weekly walk on Thursdays, to ensure others can get the benefit I've received.... So, come along and let's have a chat 😉

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.

In-person · Cambuslang

Hi, my name is Adam I am 53 years old and a father to a grown up Daughter, Son and a Grandson also. I have been clean and sober for 10 years. Diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2024 and currently under active surveillance. I don’t believe men have an opportunity to share, maybe don’t know how. I am creating this group to give guys that opportunity. To talk through men’s issues with mental health, physical health or just enjoy a walk with likeminded men. I believe my own experiences will enable me to successfully facilitate the group.

In-person · Burghfield Common

My name is Daran and I live just outside of Reading, Berkshire and I am the Walk Leader for this group. Throughout my life I’ve often wondered why I’m different from other people. Sometimes it’s been easy to work out and sometimes (and even now..) I haven’t managed to work it out fully. I am working progress too – and that is OK. As with many others, it’s taken me years to understand AND appreciate that it’s not me that’s been different, the black sheep, the weirdo or the odd one out. All the years that seem wasted by not knowing that just makes it better now when I (and you could too) realise that I am MY normal, I AM the person I should be, I am NOT defined by what others think or by how I think. As a man, talking openly is something that holds the stigma that men should be tough, never be emotional, not to show vulnerability and many men still hold this in. Not only is this a Victorian way to think, it simply isn't helpful for a healing journey - Whatever stage you are at. Whether you want to chat, vent, stay silent or put the world to rights, having a safe space to express that is why men need to talk more.

Men Walking and Talking

In-person · Long Eaton

My name is Mike, I'm 27 and I'm the walk leader for MWAT Long Eaton. I was originally a part of the Quinton MWAT group, however after moving to Long Eaton, quickly realised how important that group was to me. I grew up, like a lot of men, being told that "men don't cry" and "men shouldn't show emotion, they're strong", but when my dad passed away in 2021, things took a dark turn and I didn't know what to do. I bottled everything up. Suddenly I found myself somewhere I had never been before, a deep depression, and it wasn't until my wife had told me there was a "walking and talking" group specifically for men that I'd realised just how bad things had gotten. I want to create a safe space, for men, where we can all be heard, and understand that we are not alone.
