Oswestry Men’s Mental Health Club

21/11/2025

Massive thank you to the lads at Oswestry Men’s Mental Health Club for having me tonight. It meant a lot to come back into a room that helped me massively in the past and be able to give something back in my own way.

I really appreciated how welcoming everyone was, and it was great to share something simple with the group that’s helped keep me steady over the last few months.

For anyone who took a breakdown sheet of the chord charts or one of the guitar pick necklaces I made — I hope it brings you a bit of calm when you need it... And a special thank you to the fella who said he’ll follow up for the free sessions — I’m looking forward to it and sharing a bit of what i know so it can hopefully help you along your Journey! 😁

The group does incredible work for men who just need a place to speak, breathe, or just not feel on their own. If you haven’t checked them out yet and you’re local, they’re worth a look.
Thanks again for letting me be part of the evening lads.

Really appreciated it 🎸🥲

Just a HUGE thank you to Adam Craven for sharing his music and in his own words 'giving back' to the group this week on Wednesday! It was incredibly well recieved and much appreciated.

We appreciate all our special guests/guest speakers and always enjoy thier contributions.

A few hours late but its the thought that counts! You matter, you deserve to be heard and you have value and your battles do not need to be silent.

UPDATES/ANNOUNCEMENTS/REMINDERS ETC.

Group rules:

1.As Danny Evans stated at the very first group that nobody is to make anyone at the group feel uncomfortable otherwise they will be asked to leave. The groups are never to be used to target another individual in the group and your attendance will be heavily reconsidered if this is not adhered to. Interactions outside the group are not applicable as its the group that serves as the designated safe space. When in the group we are there to build each other up not break each other down especially as attendees may already be feeling vulnerable and such behavior could only make thier vulnerability greater.
2. Confidentiality, whats said in the group and within the confines of the venue between attendees is not to be shared with anybody outside the venue. Trust is paramount.
3. Listen to everybody, some may need 5 minutes and others longer but try and be present for all.

MUSIC! 🎸!

In his own words:

Shropshire Guitar Tuition has kindly offered to share some music with us at the next group, doing a short 15–20 minute set as a way of giving back and showing appreciation for the support from the lads here.

As part of this, he’s offering 2 free one-to-one guitar sessions to 5 regular attendees who feel it might help them with confidence, creativity, or just trying something new.

This will take place at the next meeting, so try to be there for 7pm prompt.
Normal group format will resume afterwards.

At his request, feel free to follow his page if you’d like to keep up with what he’s doing.

Good afternoon all!! Hope you are surviving and maybe even living!

This thread is not an announcement but a suggestions seeking thread!!

I would really like to reach the 18-35 demographic and extend the range of experiences and knowledge and advice shared in groups and help as many men as possible BUT am unsure how to reach that demographic as I primarily advertise here and in community fb groups where most reactions are from women not men. Whilst I appreciate ALL support, does anyone have any useful suggesstions to reach that demographic AND those not accessing community groups?

- Dane.
