MANUP?

23/10/2025

The tents are packed and the team is ready to head to the mountains.

This weekend men from across the UK will take our funded weekend away to switch off, get back to nature, laugh, and build resilience.

Three days of challenge and reflection. Cold mornings, long climbs, raw conversations and shared experiences around the fire. MANUP? Mountain is not a retreat, it is a reminder of who we are when we push through.

This event is full, but the next one is is already being planned. Visit the MANUP? website to register your interest and join the waiting list for the next 🔗 manup.how/manup-mountain

Tonight’s the night to stop spinning your wheels.

At 6:15pm, join us on Zoom for a men-only MANUP? session that cuts straight to it:
Why do we call it “rest” when we’re really just hiding?
Why do small things feel so hard?
And how do you start moving again when you’ve got nothing in the tank?

Therapist James Elliott MSc is back with real, no-fluff tools, stuff that works when you’re flat, stuck and done pretending you’re fine.

This isn’t therapy. It’s a reset.
Free to join. Cameras off if you want. First name only. Just show up.

After the success of the previous 'Why Men Die by Su***de' events this year, we've decided to add one more to our listings with Male Su***de Research - this time it's Manchester, and that will be it for this year!

3 LAST-MINUTE SPACES – THIS WEEKEND

We’ve had a few last-minute cancellations for our men’s camping weekend happening this Friday to Sunday (24th to 26th Oct) in the Peak District.

It’s run by MANUP?, and it’s not a retreat or a therapy session. It’s just like-minded blokes getting outdoors, having a laugh, switching off from the noise of life, and talking honestly around a fire if they want to.

It’s entirely funded, so there’s no cost to join. You’ll just need:

Your own camping kit (tent, sleeping bag etc.)

Snacks or lunch bits for the hikes

A willingness to get stuck in

We know it’s short notice, but if you’re free and fancy a proper reset, we’ll need you to meet us around 15:00 on Friday in the Edale area. We’ll finish up about 13:00 on Sunday after hiking, axe throwing, archery and good conversation.

Every time we do this, someone says it’s the best thing they’ve done for their head in years.

If that sounds like something you need right now, drop us a message. First come, first served.

know any blokes who might want to join thisi weekend?

MANUP? Mountain - Mens Mental Health Camping Event

20/10/2025

You don’t have to fall apart to realise something’s off.

Too much screen time, no energy, dodging the stuff you used to care about, it doesn’t mean you’re weak. But it does mean it’s time to take a look.

Join us this Thursday 23 October at 6:15pm for a men-only session on Zoom. Therapist James Elliott MSc will unpack the subtle signs men are slipping and how to catch yourself before burnout hits full force.

This isn’t about “fixing” you. It’s about practical tools that work when your head’s cloudy and your motivation’s MIA.

Free to join. No camera needed. First name only if you want.

Next weekend, we will be taking a group of blokes, all based all over the UK, on a camping trip. It will involve hiking, mountains, tents, and a laugh.

This is our second camping trip of the year and is entirely funded by us, so if you’ve helped us with fundraising, you’ve helped with this, alongside research, therapy group sessions and other events. You are helping us to help men.

Today we’re in Newcastle for our second event ‘why men die by su***de’ with Dr Susie Bennett.

We are doing Liverpool on Monday and Chelmsford the Friday after.

We must get to the bottom of why men die by su***de?

We never charge for these events, if you’ve fundraised or helped us in anyway, this is down to you. Thank you

Male su***de is a public health crisis . Yet conversations about it are often shallow or focused on the wrong solutions.

Tonight at 6:15pm — being a dad doesn’t get easier just because you stay quiet.

Whether you're working nights, parenting from a distance, or trying to co-parent without losing your mind, it can feel like you’re failing even when you’re giving it everything.

Join therapist James Elliott MSc tonight on Zoom for a men-only session that gets honest about fatherhood, guilt, distance and the pressure to always hold it together.

You’ll get real tools to help you stay calm, connect meaningfully with your kids (even through a screen), and keep yourself steady when things feel shaky.

Free. Private. No camera needed. Just show up.

There is still time to join here: https://www.manup.how/events/being-a-dad

Full credit to HelpuCymru, but last week we put on our first Why Men Die by Su***de event in Wales alongside Male Su***de Research

Next up, we’re heading to Newcastle, Liverpool, and Chelmsford – with only Chelmsford not yet sold out.

We don’t just fund the research. We ensure it reaches ordinary people. We refuse to keep it locked away for scholars to chat about in meetings.

The more we all understand, the fewer men will die.
The more people will talk to men, not at them.
And the more people will actually listen.

Being a dad doesn’t always look how you pictured it.

Shift work. Separation. Long-distance parenting. When you’re away from your kids, the guilt can eat you alive, even if you're doing your best.

This Thursday 9 October at 6:15pm, join us on Zoom for a men-only MANUP? session led by therapist James Elliott MSc. We’re talking about the real emotional toll of fatherhood, especially when life doesn’t match the “perfect dad” script.

You’ll learn how to stay present even when you’re not physically close, how to lower conflict with your ex and how to show up for your kids in ways that actually matter.

It’s not about being perfect. It’s about staying solid, connected, and real, no matter your situation.

Free to join. No camera needed. First name only if you want.
