Our Mission

To create a safe environment for men to discuss everyday wins and challenges.

It is about changing this idea of masculinity and ensuring no man is alone in his journey.

What we are about

Vulnerability is something we are not used to. Many think that vulnerability is a 'touchy-feely' idea, however, we are becoming more aware that is not what is happening. Vulnerability is about sending a clear message that we have weaknesses and that we can use help. This creates a model to enable men to set their insecurities aside to trust and help each other.

It's an open circle where you can share your wins or challenges, or you can just listen in and offer support.

Let's start to redefine the way men communicate.

What happens at the circles?

We get men in a room together, like you would at a BBQ, Pub or in your own Man Cave. but ditch the superficial conversation and talk about real life. It is an open forum where we allow men to speak.

It sounds intimidating, however, we mustn't expect you to give your all in your first session - but at least come along and feel the power that is men speaking on a deeper level.

It is important to acknowledge that we are not a Psychologist or Counselling service, but provide the first stepping stone to help men start their journey towards better mental health.

Payment model

Our pricing is that when we invest financially, we tend to invest in other areas too. We are a not for profit organisation, so all funds raised will be used for overheads, such as venue hire, website and email costs etc. But most importantly, we want to support men to seek further help if required and subsidize the financial burden - that is the ultimate goal. Donation opportunities will be available.

Vulnerability is Masculinity
