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 😉

In-person · Weston-super-Mare

Hi, my name is Mike and I am the Walk Leader for Weston-super-Mare MWAT. I’m a dad of three; two girls and a boy. Mental health has always been a topic of real importance to me. I have been a director of my carpentry company for 23 years. Being a boss is not just paying the wages, it is supporting all staff (who are mainly men) within a very hard industry. I’m also Vice Chairman for the local Sea Cadet unit. As someone who has had my own challenges with mental health, it can be worrying or difficult to find the right line of support, but it’s been a really amazing experience to see the positive impact these walks have.

In-person · Stourport-on-Severn

Hi, my name is Olly and I'm the Stourport leader of MWAT. I first became aware of MWAT via Facebook in winter 2022 as it sparked interest due to my mental health background and my hobby of walking. I have been involved with the Stourport walk since then and have thoroughly enjoyed making friendships from the group. As my daytime job is being a mental health practitioner, along with the joy of listening to people's stories, I thought MWAT was a great fit to me during my spare time. I am big into the outdoors and walking, so if you have a story to share, I'd be more than up to listening to it. I look forward to seeing you

In-person · Scarborough

My name is Ashley and I am the Walk Leader for Scarborough. After seeing a Men Walking And Talking group featured on the BBC, it was clear there was a real need to create something similar here in Scarborough. Through our family businesses at Stepney Hill Farm, we have supported many local groups and charities over the years. Our community gardens and the Stepney Hill Eco Project — delivered in conjunction with local veterans — have brought lasting benefits to a wide range of organisations. These include local junior schools and Woodland Academy, who regularly access the gardens and farm for educational visits throughout the year, learning about food, farming, and the environment. More recently, we have expanded this support by working with Gladstone Road Junior School and Woodland Academy to provide residential stays alongside farm tours and “field to fork” learning experiences. The Men Walking And Talking group is a natural and important extension of this community work. Creating a safe, welcoming space for men to walk, talk, and connect — especially in the evenings — plays a vital role in supporting mental health and wellbeing. This isn’t just a walk. It’s a weekly space to look forward to, to meet new people, build friendships, support one another, and remind ourselves that we don’t have to carry everything alone.

Men Walking and Talking

In-person · Horsenden

Hi, my name is Chris. Many men struggle to talk about their mental health, myself included. Traditional support routes can feel intimidating or inaccessible. A simple walk creates a relaxed environment where conversation happens more naturally, side by side rather than face to face. This group is here to help tackle isolation, build a sense of community, and encourage honest conversations while also promoting physical wellbeing. By bringing men together regularly, we can create supportive connections, reduce stigma around mental health, and provide an early outlet before issues become more serious. Ultimately, it’s about creating a space where no one feels they have to deal with things alone.

In-person · Rochdale

NEW WALK STARTING THURSDAY 16th JULY 2026 I’m Dan, 51, a husband and proud dad to two grown‑up humans (and one not‑so‑grown‑up, four‑legged companion!). I’m someone who enjoys being active, especially running and walking—ideally out in the hills, where fresh air and open space seem to bring a sense of perspective. I’m leading this walking group because I believe in the simple but powerful benefit of walking and talking together. Life isn’t always straightforward – I lost my dad to suicide and have faced my own difficult periods too. Those experiences have shown me just how important connection, openness, and shared understanding can be. This group isn’t about pressure or expectations. It’s about creating a relaxed, supportive space where men can come together, be themselves, and feel part of something. You can chat if you want to, share what’s on your mind, or simply enjoy the walk alongside others without saying much at all. Sometimes the most valuable thing is just being there – side by side, getting outside, and knowing you’re not alone. Whether you come for the conversation, the company, or just the walk, you’re very welcome.

In-person · Sandbach

My name is Dave, and I’m the walk leader for Sandbach, Cheshire. We started our walks in October 2023, and what began as a simple step forward became something far more powerful than I ever imagined. At the time, I needed support just as much as anyone else. Life had tested me, showing me how dark and isolated it can feel. But through walking and talking alongside other men, I found something different — I found light. I found understanding. I found strength in shared experience. I’ve watched the men who joined those early walks grow in confidence, stepping forward to lead walks themselves and support others — including me during my own difficult moments. That’s the power of men showing up for each other. It reminded me that even in isolation, we are never truly alone. Walking taught me to stop giving my energy to the negatives I cannot control, and instead focus on moving forward — even on the darkest days. Progress doesn’t require giant leaps. It starts with one step. One decision. One conversation. If you’re struggling, know this: there is strength in walking beside others who understand. There is hope in putting one foot in front of the other. It all starts with one step. Take it with us.

In-person · Cheltenham

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.

In-person · Ellesmere

NEW WALK STARTING MONDAY 27th JULY 2026 My name is Rod and I am Ellesmere born and bred, so I know a lot about the history of the town and know a lot of people in the area. I have struggled with my own mental health over the last 2-3 years but with the help of my wife, Jo, and friends, I have come out the other side. I passed my mental health first aid and joined the Mental Health Motorbikes so I can help others where they need it or in their hour of need. I feel that I'm giving back. I'm a good at listener and like meeting new people. I have found that walking helps me, especially with my dogs. They listen to some of my troubles, but they always make me feel better. My hobbies are fishing out in the peace and quiet, walking my dogs, and my get away is the motorbike. That's something about me and I look forward to listening to you on the walk.

My name is Jason, I'm a local councillor and volunteer when I'm not working as a project manager/SysAdmin/Developer. Keeping busy is important to me. I run a Sunday litter picking group, I volunteer at parkrun on Saturday, and I work in the community with various groups. Being active, breathing in fresh air, getting some daylight, and talking to people are all good for mental health. That's what I want to encourage.

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.

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.
