MenWalkTalk support, organise and deliver mental wellbeing walks for men aged 18+. Meeting every two weeks at Milton Country Park facilitated by Chris, a trained volunteer walk leader.
This activity is good for wellbeing because
- walking is good exercise and can lift your mood;
- being outdoors and in nature is a stress-buster;
- meeting other men who may be experiencing challenges in their lives will help you feel less alone.
"It's important for men to talk. I myself tend to hide away and not talk and it has not done me any good. Coming on these walks and having a chat is wonderful and I'm thankful for MenWalkTalk."

What to expect
MenWalkTalk is a registered charity which aims to support men’s mental health by facilitating walk and talk groups, reducing social isolation by creating a community of men who support each other.
Meeting at Grounds Café in Milton Country Park and led by Chris, a trained volunteer walk leader, walks last an hour and for those that want to, end up with coffee in the Café. There's no pressure to talk, or to stick to mental health topics, but the walks are a safe space within which to open up and connect.
Walks are every two weeks on Saturdays. To find out when the next walk is taking place, take a look here. If you’re new, click on the walk you’re interested in and sign up so Chris knows to expect you. You’ll also find meeting point details and contact info.
