COME AND JOIN THE LADS AND LET'S GET WALKING AND TALKING!
​Every week, men of all ages and backgrounds join "The proper blokes club" at meet up points across London to go for a walk in the local community.

They talk about family, relationships, sport and what’s really on their minds – things like money problems, addiction, work stress and gaining access to the kids after a breakup.
We listen and support one another.
Their friendly walks and drop-ins are breaking the stigma of men’s mental health and helping men talk openly about how they really feel.​​
You're not alone in your struggles. There are people out there willing to help and support you. The most important things is that you need to really want to help yourself.

The Proper Blokes Club is a walk and talk community project for men. Our mission is to break the stigma of men's mental health and start talking openly about it.

Breast Cancer Awareness Month
Anyone can get breast cancer, so remember to regularly touch, look and check. Get to know your normal by checking your breasts regularly. Touch your breasts. Look for changes. Check anything new or unusual with a GP. https://breastcancernow.org/.../signs-and-symptoms-of...
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. One in eight women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime, but early detection can improve outcomes so let’s share awareness and know the signs. https://breastcancernow.org/.../breast-cancer-awareness...
Breast cancer can develop in men, but this is rare with less than one in 100 (less than 1%) of breast cancer cases in the UK being in males. If you have any of the symptoms you'll find on the link, it’s important to go to your GP straight away. Finding a cancer early gives the best chance of successful treatment.https://www.cancerresearchuk.org/.../male-breast-cancer
