🔥 COMMON GROUND - FIRST MEN’S CIRCLE 🔥

Our first official session takes place:

📍 Saturday 9th May
🕐 1:00 PM – 2:30 PM
📍 Sherford Community Hub, Plymouth

This is a free local men’s support circle built around real talk, respect, and brotherhood.

Whether you’re carrying a lot, navigating hardship, or simply want to be around grounded men - you are welcome here.

You do not need to share if you’re not ready.
You can simply come, listen, and be present.

No judgment. No pressure. Just space.

If you’re planning to attend, joining the WhatsApp group is helpful for updates - but if you’d prefer to just turn up, that’s absolutely fine too.

You are not alone.
