COURAGE IS CONTAGIOUS

Did you know that the word courage comes from "cor", the Latin word for heart?

In its earliest form, courage meant "to boldly express your thoughts by sharing your heart." 

In other words - share what matters to you.

Social expectations often make it difficult for men to find safe spaces where they can truly open up. Men are expected to be strong and silent, leading to isolation and unspoken struggles.

 

We believe that individual wellbeing is a collective responsibility, and to address male loneliness and the rising mental health crisis in the UK, we need to increase the willingness amongst men to go deeper with one another. To share their passions, dreams, struggles and stories.

WORKSHOPS

Our workshops provide safe, supportive spaces for everyone to explore holistic wellbeing. Through guided activities and open conversations, learn to share stories, build connections, and develop the courage to face life’s challenges.
Themes include:
Loneliness, Self, Emotions, Relationships, Community and Connection

WEEKENDS

Our weekends away offer men the chance to step back from daily life, connect deeply with others, and focus on personal growth.

Through shared experiences, storytelling, and guided activities, men build trust & gain courage.

Heavily subsidised so everyone can join in.


A 2019 study by the Movember Foundation found
that
one in three men regularly feel lonely, and 51% of men have two or fewer close friends


We want to see every man supported, filled with confidence, with a vision of hope for their future.

Welcome

SUPPORT US

Welcome

Since 2020, we've been helping men to share their stories, deepen conversations, and experience personal and communal transformation. Our weekends and workshops empower men to improve their wellbeing through connection, community, and courage. When one man steps forward to share his story, it sparks a ripple effect of bravery in others, creating a culture of openness and support that strengthens communities. 

 

Supporting our work means making wellbeing accessible to those who need it most. As wellbeing initiatives become increasingly expensive and exclusive, many men are left without the support they need. Through crowdfunding, fundraising challenges, and community events like sponsored runs, we ensure that our workshops and weekends remain affordable and inclusive. Every contribution helps us create safe spaces where men can connect, share, and find strength in vulnerability, building a community that supports each other.
