Richmond PANDAS

Meets every first Monday of the month 10:30am – 12:00 noon Group Facilitator: Aisling Mindfulness The Venue Aisling What inspired you to start your group? – After some tricky pregnancies that were often brimming with worry, and a bumpy postnatal period with my middle child, I was inspired to support others who might be finding things tough during the perinatal period. What does the building look like, and how will I know I’m in the right place? – The building is easy to find, directly opposite the Sainsbury’s car park on Langham Road. Look for the “Pandas” sign on the small gate to the right-hand side of the building. The group is held in a small, cosy room that is easily accessed via a small ramp. Buggies can come straight into the room with you if necessary. We try to keep the door ajar unless it is very windy. You can just give a little knock if you don’t find it open, and I’ll come and greet you. Is there parking or public transport nearby ? – There is some free parking on the road, but spaces can be limited. There are bus stops close by on the High Street for 281, 285 or R68 buses. Teddington Rail Station is about a 10-minute walk away, down the High Street. Any doors, buttons, or steps I should know about?  – No tricky steps or heavy doors to worry about when coming in to see us!  Where can buggies be left? Are there toilets/changing facilities?  – Buggies can come straight in with you. There are toilets and changing facilities just through the door next to our room. What’s the atmosphere like, and what should I do when they walk in?  – It is a very calm, relaxed setting. You can come in, make yourself comfortable and take a seat or use the toilet/ changing facilities. I’ll make you a drink and offer you a snack. I always have some dairy and gluten-free options too! We normally have informal introductions within the group and hold space for anyone to share any particular worries or concerns. Some weeks I might have a little activity or worksheet for us to look but nothing is compulsory.  Anything special about your group I should know about? – This is a group run by someone who really cares about other parents and parents-to-be who are finding things tough. You might be having a particularly difficult time, or a surprisingly good day, and want to share that with other people who understand. It is the effect of peer support that can make you feel like you are not alone during the harder days. The sharing of the good days offers hope to others in the group.

Ripon Walk

Hi, I’m Alan. I think men struggle to talk about their mental health; I know I do. I rarely talk about my anxiety with anyone, even those close to me, and when I do, they don’t understand if they are not going through it themselves. I'm not ready to talk about all my own stuff yet, but I hope to get to a place where I can and maybe help you to do the same. Walking and talking will help us get there. I want to do this. I’m going for it and don’t want to do it on my own, so take a big step and turn up! This walk will be a safe space to open up, chat, or just walk and have space - if you decide to talk you’ll be talking to others who get it - talk, listen, make a new friend, or just come for the company and escape for an hour … what have you got to lose? Same time, same place, every week. Just a steady-paced walk for around 1 hour, no pressure or judgement, walk shoulder to shoulder with men just like you. See you there!

Rochdale Walk

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.

Sandbach Walk

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.

Scarborough Walk

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.
