Binley Woods Men's Academy

Binley Woods Men's Academy No membership, no commitment, just turn up if you feel alone.

Binley Woods Men's Academy is a meeting place for men aged 18-35 to meet, chat, form friendships, support each other through difficult times and be a listening ear for anyone who wants to talk.

We're sad to say that our pilot project to support young men has had to come to an early end due to reduced/none attendance, with no one at all coming along on Thursday night, and only 1 person the previous week.

We know there's a need for support for young men and we are happy to recommend Back and Forth - Men’s Mental Health to anyone who is in need of someone to talk to.

Thank you to the men who came along at the start and for supporting our idea ❤️

Last night we went to Bedworth Civic Hall to watch the live podcast with Back and Forth - Men’s Mental Health

This was a really interesting and motivating evening with guys sharing the good and the bad times that they have gone through. The main thing that came through was that these men's support groups are like being among a group of friends.

Catch up with the chat on their page.

Tomorrow night we have Week 6/10 at Binley Woods Men's Academy and are open from 7.30pm - 9.30pm for all men aged 18-35 to drop in and have a chat.

It's week 3/10 this Thursday evening at 7.30pm and we are open for any man aged 18-35 who would like to come along for a chat, company, an opportunity to share any difficulties they are facing, or just to listen to others and get a feeling for what we're about.

The men we've had come so far have found the group supportive and beneficial and are recommending it to others.

It was great to see the men from last week come back again tonight. Week 2 was another good one and we all had a night of interesting discussions and getting to know a bit more about each other, along with some laughs too.

A huge thanks goes to Rob from Sweet Deception Magic for doing some great ice breakers to start the night off. We're still trying to figure out where Simon Cowell came from! 😂

Thanks for coming tonight guys, we'll see you next week, along with whoever else wants to come and join us.

Our opening night tonight has been a great opportunity to talk and see the real potential of where this group can go.

We had 7 people attend and are very grateful to The Rising Spires for coming to support us and chat to the guys who came along.

From the open and touching conversations and personal stories that were shared it was really apparent that young men appreciate the space and environment to talk and be heard without judgement. As the night went along people felt more comfortable to talk...and laugh too. It was agreed that men tend to bottle up "their s**t" when really they need to talk about "their s**t" The group name may even change to... "Let's Talk S**t"

Thank you for your input, thank you for opening up, thank you for saying you'll come back.

We'll be opening again next Thursday evening from 7.30pm - 9.30pm.

We are opening tonight at 7.30pm and it's great that we have the support of guys from local bands who are willing to help endorse our group to promote positive wellbeing for men's mental health.

The Rising Spires are coming tonight to have a chat and talk about life in a band, and The Subterraneans have donated some tickets for their gig at The Standard Triumph Club in Coventry next Friday night. If you fancy going with a mate then come along and get the tickets.

Thanks so much guys for your support for our opening night.

Tomorrow is the opening night of Binley Woods Men’s Academy, and it’s all about creating a safe, welcoming space for men aged 18–35 to come together, connect, and be heard. Life isn’t always easy – loneliness, lack of confidence, or simply not having the right circle of friends can leave you feeling isolated. This group is here to change that. Whether you’re struggling with challenges, searching for purpose, or just want to meet new people in a relaxed environment, you’ll find support, encouragement, and genuine conversation. There’s no pressure, no judgment, and no need to register – just turn up, grab a coffee and a biscuit, and discover that you’re not alone. Together we’ll share experiences, build friendships, and support one another to grow stronger and more confident. It’s about creating a community where young men can laugh, talk, and engage with others who truly understand. If you’ve ever felt like something is missing, or you’re looking for a space to belong, this is your chance to take that first step. Come along, be part of something positive, and let’s build a circle of strength, purpose, and hope – together.

Doors open at 7.30pm and there's plenty of free parking at the rear of Binley Woods Village Hall. Entry is via the white door off the car park.

We look forward to welcoming you 😊
