What is Mandem Meet Up?

Life can be heavy, and sometimes you just need a space to be yourself, without expectations or pressure. Mandem Meet Up is a safe, welcoming talking circle for men to connect, share, and support each other. Whether you want to speak your mind or just sit and listen with a brew in hand, you're welcome here. No judgement, no pressure—just a space where you can be seen and heard.

A Safe and Supportive Space

You don’t have to talk if you don’t want to—just being in the room, feeling the energy of a supportive group, can be enough. If you do feel like opening up, you’ll be met with understanding and respect, no matter what’s on your mind.

No Pressure, No Judgement

This is a space for you to come exactly as you are. Whether you need to vent, reflect, or simply enjoy the company of others, there’s no expectation to perform or prove anything. Just a warm, welcoming environment where you can be yourself.

Build Connections and Community

You’re not alone. This group reminds you that there are others who understand what you’re going through. It’s a chance to form meaningful connections with people who truly get it.

What to Bring to Mandem Meet Up

An open mind and a willingness to be present.

Yourself, exactly as you are—no expectations.

    Kane came through Mandem Meetup as a service user, and his deep compassion and self-awareness made it easy for him to step into holding space for others. Now, he facilitates the Talking Circle at our Eccles space, creating a space where men can show up as they are, be heard, and find support. He also runs Movie Meetups and Choons & Chats—because sometimes, connection looks like sharing a film or vibing to good music. At Mandem Meetup, it’s all about brotherhood, empowerment, and knowing you’re not in this alone.
