Website: https://walkandtalkformen.co.uk/

We are Walk & Talk for Men, a UK‑based organisation supporting men’s mental health through regular, welcoming walking groups.

Our walks are open to men from all backgrounds and life circumstances, and are grounded in the belief that conversation and connection are powerful antidotes to isolation.


We work to build and support local Walk & Talk groups across the UK, raising awareness of the benefits of walking and talking together and helping more men to access peer support in their own communities. Walk & Talk for Men groups are volunteer led and community focused. We do not provide clinical or crisis services, but we offer a friendly, preventative space that complements other forms of support by encouraging connection, openness and shared experience.


Our mission is to make it easier for men to take that first step towards improved wellbeing, sometimes literally, by ensuring there is a Walk & Talk group within reach of any man who would benefit from one. We believe every step counts, and we are committed to continuing to grow the movement so that no man has to face life’s challenges alone.
