Unload and Uplift – Talking Circle for Men’s Mental Health

We’ve seen a powerful influx of new faces over the past two weeks at Unload and Uplift. Hats off to the bravery of every man who’s walked through the door—your courage to show up and speak is nothing short of inspiring.

This week we’re holding two circles:
🟢 Tonight (Monday) at 6PM
TACT Offices, Strickland House, The Lawns, Wellington TF1 3BX

🟢 Thursday at 6PM
St Andrews Church, Shifnal TF11 9AB

If you’re a man over 18 feeling isolated, overwhelmed, or just need a space to breathe—we’re here. Breath of Life is a peer support group built on compassion, connection, and real talk. No pressure, no judgment. Just a circle of men who get it.
💬 Come unload. Leave uplifted.

🌬️ Just when we thought the snow was gone....🥶🌨️🌨️💨

Storm Goretti is set to bring snow and icy conditions from Thursday evening into Friday morning, so we’re likely to see some disruption and icy travelling conditions.

There are 'AMBER' weather warnings in place from tomorrow (Thursday 8).
🟠 Snow Thursday 8pm – 9am Friday midday

❄️🚚 Our crews will be out when it counts from 6pm tonight, in the early hours if needed and throughout the week...
🚜 Extra gritters and ploughs are on standby
🌳 Our tree team is also ready, as some strong winds are expected
🧂 We’ve topped up 200+ grit bins so far - thank you for reporting them
🤗 Supported our network of more than 600 snow wardens

We know the side roads can be difficult in this weather. Our focus is on the 400km (250 mile) priority roads to keep essential routes open, and we appreciate your patience with the rest of the network. Please check to see if you road is included https://orlo.uk/QnJSJ

With fewer people on the roads overnight, grit does not work as effectively, so please take extra care if you do need to travel - and only travel if it’s necessary.

🚫 On Friday 8 - Avoid travelling if you can during
🚗 If you must go out, drive slowly and allow extra time
⏰ Leave home five minutes earlier to avoid rushing
🚌 Check road conditions, bus routes and train timetables before setting off
Our teams are working hard to keep Telford and Wrekin moving safely.

Thank you for your patience, and please look out for neighbours who might need a bit of extra support.
