Men Walk Talk

Who we are

MenWalkTalk is a registered charity in England which aims to support an improvement of mental health in men of all ages by engaging in a walking group which is proven to be beneficial to their mental and physical wellbeing. The Stigma around Men’s mental health needs to be broken. MenWalkTalk also aims to reduce social isolation for men and provide signposting to specialist support for those who may be experiencing mental health problems. We want to provide volunteer-led walking groups in every county across England and then the UK. Currently our volunteers have mental health awareness training as a minimum and their aims are to discuss mental health within their walking groups, in a caring, supportive, and non-judgemental manner.

VISION STATEMENT 

“For men to feel able to speak out, feel heard, understood and supported. To promote a positive change in people’s lives through mutual support and advice” 

MISSION STATEMENT 

To provide support to any adult male, whether they may have experienced, or are experiencing, a mental health issue or not. To listen to them, support them, walk with them and signpost them to specialist support where appropriate.  We want to raise the awareness of mental health issues that men currently face, promoting a better understanding of this area.
