💚 From learning together to walking together…

What a great Manspace meeting last night! 🙌

Following on from yesterday’s post about the importance of learning from others and the positive habits and routines they bring into their lives, last night’s meeting was another reminder of just how much we can gain from sharing our experiences, listening to different perspectives and supporting one another.

Sometimes the greatest inspiration comes from the people around us. 💚

And the conversations don’t have to stop when the meeting ends!

🚶‍♂️ JOIN US THIS SUNDAY FOR OUR WALK & TALK! 🌊

📅 Sunday 18th October
🕚 11am
📍 Meeting at Cliffs Coffee Shop
172 Northdown Road, Cliftonville, CT9 2QN

We’ll be enjoying a leisurely stroll along the beautiful Viking Coastal Trail from Cliftonville towards Broadstairs.

Whether you’re a regular at Manspace, haven’t been for a while, or are simply curious about what we’re all about, you’re very welcome to come along.

No pressure, no expectations. Just fresh air, good company, meaningful conversations and an opportunity to connect in a relaxed, informal setting.

💚 You never know who you might inspire, or who might inspire you.

Come along, bring a friend, and enjoy the walk with us!

🌅 Who do you surround yourself with, and what can you learn from them?

This morning, while enjoying some time outdoors, I was reflecting on something I’d been reading from Tony Robbins.

The idea is simple but powerful. If we want to make positive changes in our lives, we can learn from people who are already practising the habits, attitudes and behaviours that produce the outcomes we aspire to.

We don’t always need to reinvent the wheel.

And that’s something we see regularly at Manspace.

When men come together to share their experiences, challenges and successes, we create opportunities to learn from one another.

Sometimes it’s hearing how someone has overcome adversity. Sometimes it’s discovering a new routine, a healthier perspective or simply recognising that we’re not alone.

We don’t have to have all the answers. Sometimes we just need to be willing to listen, learn and try something different. 💚

Fancy joining us?

💙 Real stories. Real experiences. Real change.

One of the most powerful things about Manspace is the opportunity to listen, learn and grow through the experiences of other men.

In this video, one of our members shares how his mental health has improved since coming to Manspace. By listening to others, taking inspiration from their experiences and introducing positive habits and routines into his own life, he’s discovered ways to make meaningful changes to his wellbeing.

💬 Sometimes it’s not about finding all the answers. It’s about being in a space where we can learn from one another, feel understood and realise we’re not alone.

That’s the power of connection. That’s Manspace. 💙

📢 JOIN US TONIGHT!

📍 Newington Community Centre, Ramsgate

🕖 Tonight, 7pm–8:30pm

Whether you’re struggling, looking for connection or simply curious about what we do, you’re welcome to come along.

You don’t have to struggle to belong. 💙

📍 NEW MONDAY VENUE — AND A RETURN HOME!

We’re really pleased to announce that Manspace Mondays have a new home… although it’s actually our original one! 🙌

When Manspace first started out, Cliftonville Community Centre in Margate was our home, so it feels pretty special to be heading back to where our journey began.

From this Monday, you’ll find us at:

📍 St Paul’s Community Centre, Margate
🗓 Every Monday
⏰ 7:00–8:30pm

Manspace is a relaxed, welcoming space for men to come together, connect and talk about whatever’s going on in life.

There’s no pressure to speak, no judgement and no need to book — just turn up, grab a cuppa and be part of it. ☕️

Whether you’ve been coming for years, haven’t been for a while, or you’re thinking about walking through the door for the very first time — you’re welcome.

It feels good to be coming full circle. 💙

Please give this a share and help us spread the word around Thanet.

This is a message from Peter, one of our chilled but very active older members. One of the things I absolutely love about Manspace is its ability to reach right across the age spectrum.

Different ages. Different backgrounds. Different life experiences. But when we sit down together, none of that really matters.

Manspace is simply a space for men to connect, talk, listen, have a laugh and be around other blokes. You can share as much or as little as you want — there’s never any pressure to speak.

And we’re meeting TONIGHT.

📍 Newington Community Centre, Ramsgate
🕖 7:00–8:30pm
💙 Free to attend

If you’ve been following us for a while and thinking about coming along, tonight could be the night you give it a go.

You don’t need to be struggling. You don’t need to have anything prepared to say. Just turn up as you are.

And if you know a man — young, old or anywhere in between — who might benefit from a bit more connection, please send this video to him.

Feeling really proud this morning. 💚

After all the planning and preparation that’s gone into finding Manspace a new home, it was brilliant to finally sit together last night for our Ramsgate relaunch at Newington Community Centre.

There was something really special about seeing the room come together and being reminded of exactly why me and Paul started Manspace in the first place — creating a safe, welcoming space where men can come together, talk, listen and simply be themselves.

A huge thank you to Mike and everyone for supporting Manspace and providing the funding that has helped make this next chapter possible. Your support for what we’re trying to do for men in our community genuinely means a lot to us. 🙏

And also big shout to Cara from who has made all of us feel like we’re right at home here.

I came away feeling incredibly positive about what comes next and grateful to everyone who came along and helped make our first night at the new venue what it was.

Whether you’ve been coming to Manspace for years, haven’t been for a while, or you’ve been thinking about walking through the door for the first time — you’re welcome.

📍 Newington Community Centre, Ramsgate
🗓 Thursdays
⏰ 7pm–8:30pm

A space for men to talk. 💚

WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENS AT A Manspace MEETING? 👇

We know that walking into a room full of men you’ve never met can feel daunting.

The mind is pretty good at filling in the blanks. It might conjure up images of a darkened room, a spotlight suddenly turning on you and everyone waiting for you to reveal your deepest thoughts and feelings. 😬

We promise you — it’s nothing like that when you’re sitting with us.

Our meetings are relaxed, welcoming and structured to help people feel comfortable. There’s conversation, connection, shared experience, plenty of humour and, when people want it, space to talk about the things that matter.

You’re always free to speak or to pass. Nobody is put on the spot and nobody is expected to share anything they don’t want to.

One of the things we see time and again is the difference between how men feel before walking through the door and how they feel once they’re actually sitting with us.

That’s no accident. It’s why we structure Manspace the way we do — to create an environment where men can relax, connect and simply be themselves.

In this video, one of our facilitators explains a little more about what actually happens when you come along.

📍 RAMSGATE RELAUNCH — NEW VENUE

This Thursday 10 September, our Ramsgate Manspace moves to:

Newington Community Centre
🕖 7:00–8:30pm
☕ Guys start arriving from around 6:45pm — getting the room ready, putting the kettle on and having a chat.

So if you’ve been thinking about coming but that little voice in your head keeps finding reasons not to — our relaunch is a great time to give it a try.

You don’t need to prepare anything.
You don’t need to be struggling.
You don’t need to speak.
You just need to turn up.

The hardest part might just be walking through the door.

Once you’re through it, you might be surprised how quickly it feels different. 💙

Manspace — connection, shared wisdom and a lot of laughs.

MANSPACE RAMSGATE RELAUNCH 👊

📍 NEW VENUE — NEWINGTON COMMUNITY CENTRE
📅 THURSDAY 10 SEPTEMBER
⏰ 7–8:30PM

ONE WEEK TO GO!

We’ve been out and about getting the word out ahead of the relaunch of our Thursday night Manspace Ramsgate meeting!

Manspace (not to be confused with DadSpace, who are doing equally important work) has now been supporting men across Thanet for over three years, with two meetings every week in Margate and Ramsgate.

Over that time, men have found a tribe, connection, shared wisdom and support — and had a lot of laughs along the way.

We welcome all men. Whatever your background, sexuality or religion, you’re welcome to walk through the door.

From Thursday 10th September, our Ramsgate meeting has a new home:

📍 Newington Community Centre
⏰ 7–8:30pm every Thursday

Everything else stays the same. Guys usually start arriving about 15 minutes early, helping get the room ready, putting the kettle on and having a chat. ☕

🙏 A big thank you to top bloke Mike The Fermentorium , whose support and funding has helped make our move and relaunch possible. Community supporting community — exactly what Manspace is all about.

And of course thanks to Radford House who made us so welcome over the last couple of years but are closed for a refurb.

No referrals. No judgement. No pressure. Just men supporting men.

If you know a man in Thanet who might benefit from connection, conversation and a decent group of guys around him, please share this post with him.

New venue. Same Manspace. 👊

See you Thursday 10th September!
