📯📯Today marks very special occasion! It is Ludlow's 'Men Like Us' first birthday!

Its been almost two years since we first started planning 'Men Like Us' and as our second group turns one 🎂 It a good time reflect on how far the groups have come!

From 10 men through the door on the first meeting in Shrewsbury to over 100 men who have walked through the door of the three groups Shrewsbury, Ludlow and Telford to date!

The feedback we receive from members is humbling and an important reminder that sometimes the simplest things can have the biggest effect!

“For me, MLU had become an important addition to my cancer journey.
It allows men to sit and chat or discuss a whole range of subjects associated with cancer, caring and support armed with tea, coffee and biscuits!"

New and old member welcome today for the celebration!

Why Ambassadors Matter

Lead with Heart & Purpose: As volunteer ambassadors, you’re welcomed as the “go-to” guide at each meet-up, helping participants feel comfortable, supported, and part of the community. You might walk, jog, run—or cheer—with them.

Build Community & Connection: You help foster a safe, inclusive atmosphere where participants can connect, be active, and share a hot drink and a chat afterward.

Improve Well-Being: Volunteers play a vital role in encouraging physical activity, which has proven benefits for both mental and physical health for anyone impacted by cancer.

Be a Friendly Face: “Each 5K Your Way event has dedicated ambassadors who serve as friendly faces and guides for participants.”

Be welcoming and supportive from ‘hello’ to coffee time

Motivate others to move at their own pace—whether that’s walking, jogging, running, or cheering
