Life’s all about stepping out of your comfort zone, it’s something we promote heavily within the group.

So last Friday we got dressed up and hosted our first ever Charity Ball, it was a fantastic evening.

Saying thank you to those who made the evening special should be easy right?

Well here you can enjoy a couple of minutes of our attempts to make a thank you video 🤣

Disclaimer: this video is a bit of a laugh and isn’t intended to upset anyone

Friday night was an incredible evening at our charity ball.

It was a room full of people who believe in what we are trying to build. A place where men can find support, brotherhood and a path forward when life becomes heavy.

The atmosphere, the conversations and the generosity shown throughout the night reminded us that there are many people who care deeply about this mission.

Events like this are not possible without the support of others and we want to say a huge thank you to everyone who played a part in making the night such a success.

Thank you to:

The Holiday Inn for a fantastic venue

Gaskells Waste Services
MPH
Liam Davies
Tony Hedges
Nirvisha
Alexander Wolf Watches
For your auction prizes

Rick Sax
Lisa Stevens (singer)
Carl Jones (Compère)

Charlotte Lloyd and Lucy Richardson for your efforts putting the whole event together.

And finally, thank you to everyone who bought a ticket, donated, took part in the auction and supported the cause.

Every bit of support helps us continue our mission of standing beside men who may feel like they are standing alone.

Together we are building something that matters.

There are a lot of men walking around in silence right now.

From the outside they look fine. They go to work. They smile. They laugh with their friends. They carry on like everything is under control.

But inside, many of them are lost in the darkness.

They are carrying pressures they don’t talk about. Battles they fight alone. Thoughts that slowly convince them they are a burden, that no one would understand, that asking for help makes them weak.

So they stay quiet.

And the darkness grows.

At Primal Instincts we see these men. Not as problems to be fixed, but as men who simply lost their way for a while.

Men don’t need judgement.
Men don’t need lectures.
Men need other men who will stand beside them and say, “You’re not alone in this.”

That is what we try to be.

A light when things feel dark.
A voice when someone feels unheard.
A brotherhood when a man feels like he has no one left.

Because sometimes the smallest bit of light is enough to help someone find their way again.

If you’re struggling right now, you’re not weak. You’re human.

And there are men out here ready to walk beside you until the light comes back.

We are delighted to support local charity Primal Instincts by donating this Easter hamper for their annual fundraising dinner in Telford tonight.

It is a fantastic charity which works to ensure that ‘no man should struggle alone’.

During the 4x4x48 challenge this weekend the team had placed some glow sticks along a path towards Coalport. They were placed there to give the participants visibility of the path to follow in the dark.

We have been along to collect them this morning and someone has collected them, if this was you then we thank you and apologise for any inconvenience this may have caused.

It was not littering but there for event purposes.

Thank you 🙏

The lads are still going.

Running 4 miles might seem easy to most but to keep getting up and running another 4 miles every 4 hours when your body and your mind are telling you not to, is the real challenge.

Many people live these challenges every day, getting up and facing the day when they feel like just giving up.

This Friday at 8PM, the grind begins.

The 4x4x48 Challenge is not your average fitness event.
It’s 4 miles, every 4 hours, for 48 hours straight.

No matter the weather.
No matter the time of day.
No excuses.

Originally created by former Navy SEAL and endurance athlete David Goggins, this challenge is designed to test physical limits, mental resilience, and pure determination.

Running for a Bigger Reason

This isn’t just about miles, it’s about making a difference.

Myself, Lee Pettinger , Lee Farmer and Kirstie Yates are taking on this challenge to raise awareness and funds for Primal Instincts Men's Mental Health.

Men’s mental health is a cause that deserves more conversation, more support, and more action. Every mile run over those 48 hours represents strength, resilience, and standing together for those who may be struggling in silence.

Taking on the Challenge

* myself and Lee Petts will be taking on the challenge in Telford.

* Lee and his wife Kirstie will be taking it on in Weston-super-Mare.

Two locations.
One mission.
48 hours of grit.

If you see us out on the roads at strange hours, give them a cheer, a wave, or even join us for a few miles!

If you’d like to support us, please consider donating and helping raise awareness for an incredible cause.

Go to war with your mind
