Are you a man aged 65 years+? Or have family or a friend who is? Important info that could save a life!

82% of men with an untreated abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) tragically die. The good news is that a 10-minute, pain-free scan will spot any swelling in the aorta early enough so it can be treated.

If you've been invited for your AAA check, please book today.

Prostate Cancer Awareness Month.

It’s important to know the signs and symptoms – especially as risk increases with age. Most cases develop in men aged 50 or older and prostate cancer is more common in Black men.

Prostate cancer often develops slowly, so there may be no symptoms for many years.

Early diagnosis and treatment can save lives. Contact your GP if you notice any changes in your body or something doesn’t feel right.

Young carers are children and young people under 18 who help look after someone often a parent, sibling, or other family member, who couldn’t manage without their support.

Does that sound like you?

Being a young carer comes with a lot of responsibility. It can feel like a big weight to carry, especially while you’re still growing up yourself. That’s why young carers need more understanding, recognition, and practical support.

Every young carer deserves the same opportunity to learn, grow, and thrive as their friends who don’t have.

We’re proper proud to say we’re opening our second EPiC MEN group on Thursday 12th March! 👊🏼👊🏽

When we first started EPiC MEN, we just wanted a space where lads and blokes could turn up, have a brew, and not have to pretend they’re fine.

What’s happened since? Well, it’s been life-changing.

We’ve seen men walk in with heavy shoulder’s, not sure what to expect. And then come back the week after.
And the week after that!

And that’s the thing.
Men don’t just come once. They stay.

Because when you create a space that’s safe, with no judgement, no pressure, and no big speeches, just honest conversations and proper peer support, it absolutely works.

So we’re growing 😃

Our second EPiC MEN group will be at Leisure United William Foster Playing Fields, where we already run Crisis Harbours on Mondays and Fridays. It’s a brilliant, welcoming building, free parking, good facilities and it already feels like home to us.

We genuinely can’t think of a better place to start the next chapter.

Men’s mental health matters.
And men deserve spaces that feel safe, local, and theirs.

If you’ve been thinking about coming along to EPiC MEN, take this as your sign.

There’ll be a brew waiting for you 👊🏼👊🏽

Thursday 12th March
7pm - 9pm (doors open @ 6.30pm)
