From Lee Jobber

Another really powerful session. I’m sooo proud of the new guys in my break out group for their vulnerability and honesty, it’s not easy to walk through those doors let alone to actually speak but I take my hat off to each and everyone that came tonight for allowing that safe space to remain safe for all of us .. if anyone is thinking “is this for me” then maybe it is .. give it a go. I’ve never known anyone gonna feeling worse than they came in ..
turning sad souls to lifelong friends

From Ashley Noel Walker

Tonight, like every week, was raw and full of emotion. It’s never easy to open up and share your feelings, especially when you have something to get out but you hold back. I know this myself.

Each week, I find something I can relate to, just as others do. This connection allows others to feel comfortable and encourages them to open up. Today, I shared my thoughts on fatherhood. I wasn’t looking for an answer but simply wanted to get things off my chest. The group’s response was overwhelmingly supportive and full of great advice.

I love the openness and trust that’s built among the peers in the group. I see the pain on their faces and feel it too. Together, we build strong bonds that help us get through another day. And we walk out with the weight lifted.

Courage, togetherness, pride, and friendship are this week’s words. I am truly proud of every single one of the guys this evening and every week.

From Paul Gask

Tonight we had 17 men turn up, one of whom took that incredibly brave step of coming through the door for the very first time.

The conversations were raw, honest, and straight from the heart. To have a safe space to talk about feelings is rare for a bloke. To be able to do that without judgment or condemnation is a special thing indeed.

Yes, there were tears, but there was much laughter too. I, for one, left feeling lighter than when I walked in!! What an absolute privilege to spend a couple of hours with some of the bravest and strongest men I’ve ever met.

I salute every single one of you. If you read this and think, “I wonder if this would be beneficial to me,” I would urge you to come and try MMM out for yourself. You’ll find there’s no pressure to talk, and you never know your very presence may help someone else. For me, it’s what Fridays are all about, and I go into the weekend feeling great!!! 👍

From Ashley Noel Walker

We had a lovely evening with a group of guys who showed their raw emotions. One thing I always count on on a Friday is that I’ll leave feeling ten times better than I did when I walked in.

It takes sheer courage to do what those lads did tonight, and I say it week in week out, I’m proud of you all. I’ve seen such growth over the past half-year, and I just hope you’ve seen it too in yourselves. Years of bottling up horrible situations and sharing them in front of a group takes a lot out of you, but it also gets it off your chest.

Keep up the good work, everyone.💙🩵🤍

From John Yates

Tonight at Modern Men Movement, we had 12 men through the door, including 2 new faces.

We started by checking in on how everyone's week had been and sharing a positive before splitting into smaller groups for some open and honest conversations. The second half gave us the chance to talk about one activity we'd like to start and what's stopping us from taking that first step.

A big thank you to everyone who came along and contributed. It takes courage to turn up, and even more courage to speak. To the two new lads, thank you for putting your trust in the group. We hope you left knowing you're not alone.

12 men. 2 new faces. One safe space to talk, listen, and support each other.

See you all next Friday. 💙👊

MMM Tonight 💙

Tonight we welcomed 24 men, including 6 new faces, for another powerful evening of conversation and connection.

We split into four groups, allowing everyone to speak, listen and be heard. Some of the discussions were deep and emotional, covering challenges that many men carry quietly, but the courage shown throughout the room was incredible.

It takes strength to walk through the door. It takes even more strength to open up, be honest and share what's really going on. It also takes strength to sit alongside another man, listen without judgment, and let him know he's not alone.

There were moments of vulnerability, reflection and support. Different journeys, different experiences, but a common reminder that we all need connection and that asking for support is a sign of strength, not weakness.

A warm welcome to the 6 men who joined us for the first time tonight. Thank you to every man who turned up and contributed to making the room a safe place for real conversations.

One conversation can make a difference.
👊💙



From Reece Bradshaw

Yet again, another fantastic group full of men opening up to each other, supporting each other and having open &honest conversations tonight really was a great group, so proud of all who attend, & it's great to see the progress made by so many members.

From Ashley Noel Walker

Six newcomers, six new journeys and six new stories to tell. Six people who showed the courage to open up and lift a weight off their shoulders, just like everyone else in that circle.

I’m currently in a good place, probably the best I’ve ever been. When you feel so good, you sometimes feel invincible, at least I do. But hearing others’ stories and their experiences makes me realise I’m not alone, and there’s still that vulnerability there; I just know how to deal with it better now. There are countless others who’ve faced similar situations, and this shared experience creates a strong bond.

We don’t try to outdo each other or make our stories bigger. Instead, we focus on listening and offering compassion and guidance.

I love sharing my experiences and what works for me, just as much as I enjoy hearing what works for others. Everyone has something valuable to offer

This group is growing because the men who attend respect and listen. They understand that everyone wants to be heard and understood, not necessarily be full of knowledge or the brightest spark.

I’m proud of everyone in that room. To the six newcomers, you did great and fit right in. If you ever feel the need to open up, have a safe space to let off steam and just be yourself, no masks or hiding. Then you know where we are. WE ARE MMM.

P.S Life the album releasing in 2 weeks

Much love

So we have got a chance to take part in a football tournament on the 20th June at the The Grove Braunstone Park for Modern Men Movement .. anyone know of anyone that would like to sponsor it and help towards some cheap football shirts and we will have your company logo on there for advertising and spread the message .. we have lads attending that not so long ago were a recluse and isolating to the point of not leaving the home and definitely wouldn’t take part in any social activity , we have lads that have social anxiety and are trying to over come it .. we have guys that suffer with loneliness and the fear of not being good enough but with the support from their peers that are being shown that they don’t need to be lonely any more and that no matter how we get on you are good enough .. this is a massive step in the right direction for the lads. We have lads that are in the best place they have been in years and are willing to help the others through the tough times to overcome their struggles , what we have here at modern men is such a diverse group of men that support each other with no judgement and with Genuine care xx
Keep doing what your doing lads

A bit of a different night tonight as we collaborated with the Leicester & Charnwood Sunday Football League for the final, playing for the Modern Men Movement Cup. ⚽️💙

We still held our peer support group as normal, with 10 men attending, including 1 newcomer.

We also had 10 MMM members attend the cup final to represent the Modern Men Movement and show support throughout the evening.

A huge thank you to everybody who donated, supported, and continues to back MMM. Your support genuinely makes a difference and helps us keep creating a safe space for men to talk openly and honestly. 🙏

From Paul Gask

With the warm weather, a Bank Holiday weekend, and some of the team supporting another event, we still had 10 men come through those doors tonight — including one man who took that brave first step and joined us for the very first time.

And wow… what a night!!!

I am constantly overwhelmed by the honesty, encouragement, and sheer openness of every single person who walks into MMM. Once again, there were tears, laughter, powerful conversations, and genuine connection — and I’ve come away feeling incredibly privileged to be part of it all.

To hear someone say, “This is not just a circle of friends, this is a circle of power,” really does capture what Modern Men Movement is all about.

I value and honour every single one of you. “Thank you” never quite feels enough to express how grateful I am to be involved in such an uplifting and genuinely powerful initiative.

To any man reading this — just turn up. Come and experience something that is so special. It might just change your life for the better… it certainly has mine.

From Ben

What an eye-opening meeting again tonight. From newcomers to long-standing members, the courage to share problems with strangers in some cases is amazing. The movement gets stronger each week, and the positive effect it is having on men in the community is massive.
Massive thank you to those that were brave enough to walk through that door tonight, I can’t wait to see your faces next Friday 👍🏼
