Men Walking and Talking Ely

If you ever feel down just watch the assembly, it's the best programme I have ever watched.

I have the privilege of working with people with disabilities and they all have an incredible way of looking at life with brutal honest and humour.

I adore ever episode, but the episode with Anna Maxwell Martin is my favourite.

This is for every Man who has come to, wants to come, but hasn't made it yet and everyone who continues to support Men Walking and Talking Ely.

We are an incredibly inspiring group of Men that continues to get stronger, support each other and shows everyone that we continue to break barriers, reduce stigma and we are a shining light and a beacon of Hope in our Community.

I will never give up supporting this group, I have put so much into this, it is a privilege to turn up every week and walk with a brotherhood of Men.

I am going to continue my work, strive for greatness and continue this great incentive.

5 YEARS, Over 85 GROUPS, AND ONE HELL OF A JOURNEY. 🥾

Five years ago, I was standing in a car park in Telford, staring at the floor and wondering if anyone would actually show up. I didn’t have a grand strategy or a national map; I just had a head full of noise and a desperate need to find a better way to navigate life.

On that first walk, just one guy joined me. But that was enough.

Today, Men Walking and Talking has grown into a national brotherhood with over 85 active groups across 33 counties**. We’ve gone from one man in a car park to hundreds of men walking side-by-side every week, proving every single week that the "man up" narrative is total BS. We’ve replaced silence with conversation, and isolation with a community that actually has your back.

**WHERE IT ALL BEGAN 📍
To celebrate our 5th Birthday, we are going back to our roots in Shropshire. On May 17th, we’re heading to the Carding Mill Valley and the Long Mynd NT for our big 5th Birthday celebration 🎊.

This event isn’t just about marking a date on the calendar. It’s about celebrating every man who decided to take that first step. It’s about the Walk Leaders who give their time to keep the path open.

🎟️ JOIN THE BROTHERHOOD
We want as many of you there as possible. Whether you’re a regular at your local group or you’ve been lurking on our page for months waiting for a sign to join—this is it. Lace up and let’s walk. Everyone is welcome!

Register your place for the birthday walk here: 👉 https://www.menwalkingandtalking.co.uk/event/5-mile-laps-for-5-years-of-mwat/

💰 HELP US REACH THE NEXT PIN
Our goal is simple: a pin on the map for every man in the UK. We are a lean, grassroots charity, and we reinvest everything back into the front lines. If you can’t make the walk, or if you want to help us fuel the next five years of growth, please consider a donation to our birthday appeal.

Support the mission on JustGiving: 👉 https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/mwatbirthday?utm_medium=CF&utm_source=CL

Thank you for standing side-by-side with me for the last five years. I’m incredibly proud of what we’ve built, but I’m even more proud of the men who walk the path every week.

After a difficult weekend with my emotions, frustrations with myself and a feeling of self destruction and hopelessness, I have come to a point of reflection this evening.

I am aware of my pattern, why I feel this way and how I need to give myself self care regularly.

The Walk Tonight gave me the chance to breath and take in the amazing surroundings.

The bench in the picture is where I used to spend time sitting, not thinking, but just being.

So this is what I did.

Who is going to join Men Walking and Talking Ely
for the first time on Tuesday Night?

We love meeting and encouraging new Gent's to our group.

There is nothing to worry about when you first join us.

We are a non judgemental friendly and supportive group and you will be greeted with a warm welcome.

Firstly it's completely FREE, there is no obligation to come every week, just come when you can.

With Men Walking and Talking you can:

🔷️ Gain supportive friendships. 🤝

🔷️ Have a chat with someone who might be going through something similar. 🗣

🔷 ️Get out of the house and be free. 🏠 🏞

It's not just our Men Walking and Talking groups up and down the country benefiting from the lighter nights, people all over are taking in the sunshine and the countless benefits it brings.

Exercise and daylight is scientifically proven to boost your mood, improve your sleep, lower stress and anxiety and enhance your cognitive behaviour.

Our gents don't always join our walks because they are struggling, they know that small benefits like this can only contribute to their days and weeks with the aim to improve their quality of life.

So if you fancy getting some of this into your routine, our details remain the same each week, we just need you to turn up!

🗓️ Tuesday EVERY WEEK!
⌚ Meet at 19:00
🧭 Barton Rd Car Park, ELY CB7 4HZ

If you thinking about it, just give it a GO!!!

What is the worst that will happen???

You go for a walk, it might just brighten up your day. 🤔
