Remember when calling a mate meant actually dialing their number? Many of us will but some won't know the magic of dialling up a mate and having a good old proper convo.

I came across an article about a movement started by a Dad in the US that’s giving kids landline phones so they can really connect with their friends. It's called .kids No apps, no pings, no endless scroll. Just voices, time, and presence.

The idea is simple but powerful:

🖋️ Write down your mates numbers...the old school way
⌚ Arrange a time to call them
🗣️Be fully in the moment free of distraction
✨ Having a conversation the way we used to in the analogue days, a convo that adds value not just a fleeting check in

Maybe that’s something we could all do more of...making time to connect, really listening and being present in that moment

This Sunday we celebrated 3 years of walks, talk and support. Friends and family came out despite the iffy weather. made their way over from Carshalton for a walk and made a generous donation to WPO from a fundraiser from a few weeks back ...video going up soon. Andy and the boys are smashing they get what we do and know how important it is for blokes to have a place to turn too when life gets heavy. We also had Gemma from ITV walk with us to cover the walk which will get the word out a bit further about the walks and socials.

Another walk with a lot of support, talking, new mates made, plenty of cake and treats scoffed and lots of tea courtesy of aka Kiosk Keith! And thanks to Richard for the rock cakes, Charles for the lime and coconut cake, Glenn for the cupcakes, for preparing the treat trays and flags and for the lion's mane sodas ...they went down very well!

Here's to another year of making the difference and another year of helping men and their families get their lives back!

A big thank you to everyone who made Sunday so special! We keep powering on together! 🚶🏼‍♂️💛👊🏼

Shoulder-to-shoulder, that’s how we have been walking for the past 3 years. Rain or shine, through the good and the bad, no man walking alone.

Check in on that bloke who’s gone a bit quiet lately, you know the one ... he seems distracted, staring into space. He's not been turning into work and he didn't meet you down the pub the other night even though he said he was on his way. The bloke who looks like he’s carrying the weight of the world on his back, tired and withdrawn...that bloke

Sometimes all it takes is a “how are you, really mate?” to lighten the load.

Walking shoulder-to-shoulder can makes the difference and sometimes talking can take some of the pressure off ...not a fix, but a start! 🥾

No man should have to walk the bumpy road alone. Check in on your mates and family not just today, but always.🗣️🗨️

We go further together! 💛✨

A year ago today We Power On had the pleasure of hosting a community walk and talk as part of the local authorities 'Su***de Awareness and Prevention Plan'.

The council had never held an event like it! A lot of planning by and made the event a big success. Partners who supported the event - and all came together to talk about the issues people who are their lowest point are facing and put forward ways in which we as a community can tackle this ever growing issue with local grassroots support.

It was a smashing event, masses of support, I got a chance to talk (not my forte, but I'm working on it ), our documentary was aired and the We Power On journey was illustrated by the brilliant

We Power On's mission in action is to make sure no man feels like have to walk alone ... We are proud to offer continual support to blokes across Surrey and welcome any man who needs the support on our Sunday walks and talks

We go further together! 💛🚶🏼‍♂️✨
