Benefits of Mandem Meet Up Classes
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

Kane (He/Him)
Mandem Meetup Facilitator
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.
