This Men's Mental Health Awareness Month, we're proud to support the important work being done by Men Walking and Talking.

The charity creates opportunities for men to connect, talk openly, and support one another through regular walks in a relaxed, judgment-free environment.

We're especially proud that one of our managers, Mike, is actively involved with the charity, and we're delighted to be sponsoring their efforts to help raise awareness and encourage conversations around men's mental health.

Sometimes the most important step is simply starting a conversation 🧡

Tea & Talk – Opening Day
A great start to Tea & Talk today. Four men sat around a table, enjoyed a cuppa, and had some good conversation.
It's amazing what can happen when people take a little time to sit down, chat, and connect with others.
Let's keep the conversations going. All men are welcome to come along next week, whether you want to talk, listen, or simply enjoy a brew in good company.
No pressure, no judgement – just a friendly space to connect.
We hope to see many more faces in the weeks to come. ☕️💬
Tea & Talk 📍 St Laurence's Church Hall 🕙 Wednesdays, 10am–12pm

Come along for a cuppa and a chat – the kettle's on.

🌿 Upper Down Meadow: Spring/Summer Programme is Live

This next phase of the land is really beginning to take shape…

Thanks to £60,000 funding from the we’re creating essential spaces across the meadow — from shelter and storage to new planting, wet woodland, and meadow restoration 🌱

We’ve worked right through winter to get things started (mud, cold, all of it!) and our volunteers have been incredible. Now, as things grow, we’re inviting more of our community to be part of it 💚

Here’s how you can get involved…

🌾 Thursday Drop-Ins (10am–4pm)
Come spend time on the land — lend a hand or simply enjoy being outdoors. Stay as long as you like.

🛠️ Sunday Sessions (from 2pm)
Hands-on days building and creating together
📅 19 April | 10 May | 28 June

🌞 Wild in the Wilne — Summer Solstice (20 June, 2–8pm)
An afternoon & evening of music, food, connection, and celebration as we welcome the height of summer ✨

A relaxed, family-friendly gathering — whether you come to dance, rest, or simply wander the meadow, you’re warmly invited.
