Oswestry Walk: Men Walking & Talking

22/03/2026

What a brilliant day out supporting the Hope House & Tŷ Gobaith 10 mile Llangollen Canal walk. We were asked by Hope House to marshal & tail walk and ensure all the walkers made it around safely. The weather was fine and the conversation was flowing nicely. It's always great to be invited and involved in community events like this. Men Walking and Talking making the difference.

What brilliant Walk & Talk this evening. 16 altogether, we welcomed 2 new walkers and Obi the sausage dog made an appearance. We were lucky enough to be invited to Café Shrooma in Oswestry to allow one of our walkers Oliver 'Twisted' Morrison the opportunity to deliver his talk on men's mental health. He did really well and really got the conversation going in the group. As always a big thank you to all our followers who are getting the word out that we are there. We will go again next week. We meet every Thursday evening at 7pm on Red Square. Men Walking and Talking making the difference.

Next Thursday we’re doing something a little different at Men’s Walking and Talking Oswestry — and we’re really excited about it.

One of our own group members, Oliver Morrison, who is also a local author, will be sharing his powerful personal story and the experience behind his book “2020: The Year That Tried to Kill Me.” after next weeks walk.

In collaboration with our friends Café Shrooma , who are kindly opening the coffee shop specially for the evening, we will be creating a relaxed space where men can come together, grab a coffee, and listen to a real, honest conversation about mental health, resilience, and finding your way through the toughest chapters of life.

Oliver’s story is one of survival, reflection, and rebuilding — including being hospitalised during the pandemic with life-threatening health complications. Through writing his book, he found a way to process what he went through and is now passionate about helping other men break emotional silence and talk more openly about what’s really going on beneath the surface.

This evening is about raising awareness, supporting one another, and reminding men that they don’t have to carry everything alone.

📍 Location: Shrooma, Oswestry
📅 Date: Thursday 19th March 19.45pm
☕ Coffee and conversation in a relaxed, welcoming environment.

If you’d like to learn more about Olly’s story beforehand, you can find his book here:

Everyone is welcome — whether you want to talk, listen, or simply be part of a supportive space.

Let’s keep the conversation going and continue breaking the silence around men’s mental health.
Men Walking and Talking making the difference.

The story narrates a critical year in the life of a 40-year-old man living in a remote farmer’s town on the border of Wales. Having lived in numerous countries and cities due to his father’s profession, he found solace only in one town which he called home. This heart-wrenching tale encompasses ...
