MensCraft

See our website www.menscraft.org.uk MensCraft supports boys and men of all ages. We provide one-to-one support and access to other specialist services.

We offer information, activities and programmes to meet the challenges of each different life stage. Our approach is strengths based and promotes the values of positive masculinity and gender equality. We support young men making the transition to adulthood; men as fathers and those experiencing difficulties for example in their family lives or with their mental health. Our range of activities give boys and men purpose, the opportunity for connection with others, and opportunities for improved wellbeing.

Love them or hate them (or somewhere in between), our fathers will have had an impact on the men we are today. For better or worse, our fathers have shaped or influenced who, what and how we are men in the world.

Would you like to do a little unpicking of your relationship with your father? If so, join our taster session using some theatre techniques as a mechanism for exploring our father-son dynamics. No drama or theatre experience needed and no need to perform in a show!

Saturday 27 September, 11am - 4pm (bring your own lunch).

Suggested donation of £20 for waged participants or £15 for unwaged, but pay what you can. Book now for free and pay on the day. Book your free tickets here: https://menscraft.org.uk/norwich-events/

This is why we do it - to give men hope. To connect them with others. To enrich their lives. To give them reasons to live.

A week today, we are throwing open our doors as part of the Baton of Hope Tour25 - Norwich leg of the UK-wide su***de awareness tour. From 10-4, you are invited to pop into the Dojo, our central Norwich event space next to the Maddermarket Theatre. Meet some of our team and members, find out more about what we do, and add your message of hope to our postcard project, 'What does hope look like?'

The Baton arrives at 2pm for an hour. Join us anytime 10-4 for a chat and refreshments. Let's send hopelessness packing.
