MensCraft

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.

We are in the process of moving from our base at the Maddermarket Theatre estate into our new home at 35 Bishopgate. The good news is that we have a lot more space to run our growing programme of groups, courses and one-to-one therapy for men and boys. The challenge is the need to rapidly transform this space into the sort of warm, nurturing environment that helps people - many of whom are vulnerable - to feel safe and comfortable. Can you help?

We are particularly looking for the following:
โ€ข Wooden coffee and side tables
โ€ข Book cases and shelving units
โ€ข 8-10 seater tables
โ€ข A large corner sofa
โ€ข A 2-3 seater sofa
โ€ข Several armchairs
โ€ข Good quality office chairs
โ€ข Lamps - table and up-lighters
โ€ข Large rugs
โ€ข Plants and plant pots - especially large ones
โ€ข Large mirrors
โ€ข Potentially artwork and/or picture frames

If you have something from the above list that is ๐ข๐ง ๐ ๐จ๐จ๐ ๐œ๐จ๐ง๐๐ข๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง ๐š๐ง๐ ๐ข๐๐ž๐š๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฒ ๐Ÿ๐ข๐ญ๐ฌ ๐ญ๐ก๐ž ๐œ๐จ๐ฅ๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ ๐ฌ๐œ๐ก๐ž๐ฆ๐ž ๐š๐ง๐ ๐š๐ž๐ฌ๐ญ๐ก๐ž๐ญ๐ข๐œ ๐ข๐ง ๐ญ๐ก๐ž ๐ข๐ฆ๐š๐ ๐ž, please get in touch; we can collect from you.

๐Ÿง  Our Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction course for Men is back!

๐Ÿคฏ Feeling stressed, overwhelmed, or just a bit out of sorts? Discover calm inner-strength with our eight-week Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) course. Designed specifically for men, this course offers a supportive and confidential space to explore mindfulness techniques.

๐Ÿ“ˆ Research overwhelmingly shows that mindfulness practices can significantly improve your state of mind, particularly low moods and feeling on edge.

โ€œThe course benefitted me immensely. I wanted to get on top of my reactivity and impulsivity, which often caused problems in my relationships. Along with making some other lifestyle changes, Iโ€™ve been able to be more thoughtful about how I approach every aspect of my life.โ€

Alongside our longstanding support for men who are lonely, isolated or experiencing other challenges, we are building a new offer of groups, courses and workshops that invite men to look inward and go deeper. To explore, to play, to "do the work" on themselves.

We're doing this through two distinct but interlinked programmes:
๐Ÿ‘‰ ๐—ช๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐—ธ ๐—ถ๐—ป ๐—ฃ๐—ฟ๐—ผ๐—ด๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐˜€๐˜€, a programme created with and for men who want a life of depth, meaning, purpose, connection and transformation.
๐Ÿ‘‰ ๐—–๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ถ๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ ๐—”๐—ฐ๐˜๐—ถ๐˜ƒ๐—ถ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ฒ๐˜€, a programme which encourages men to explore their creative side - often through the lens of their own lives - through writing, art, theatre, comedy and more.

Really, the names of the services are unimportant. There is no wrong door at MensCraft; how you arrive is irrelevant. What's important is that you are here, and once inside can find what you need - and what you want - to enrich and sustain you.

To make it as accessible as possible, most groups, courses and workshops are offered on a deposit-plus-donation basis, or with a lower fee. Some can only be offered at a fixed price, but current or recent MensCraft members may be eligible for a bursary place.

This is new territory for us. Please help us to reach as many men as possible by liking and sharing this post. Better still, if you're a man, get involved! Come and get the MensCraft experience.
