Get Back Up CIC is a Glasgow-based community organisation supporting people who feel like their lives are spiralling out of control. Whether you’re struggling with trauma, addiction, mental health, or just feel lost — we’re here to help. Through real conversations, group support, and practical programmes, we aim to guide people from rock bottom to solid ground. Our services include abuse and trauma awareness sessions, recovery groups, cooking and talking classes, and mental wellness activities like cold water therapy, mindfulness, and retreats.

A new six-week block starts tomorrow at Men Matter Scotland, and Get Back Up will be delivering two programmes every Monday as part of the timetable. 💙🧡

🍺 3pm | Beyond the Bottle

A six-session programme looking beyond alcohol itself and exploring why drinking can become the answer.

We’ll look at habits and triggers, emotions and coping, consequences and relationships, and how people can begin moving forward in a healthier direction.

🧠 6pm | Start Living Now

Our six-session personal development and wellbeing programme, focused on practical tools that can be used in everyday life.

Across the programme we’ll explore being more present, acceptance, responding rather than reacting, healthy boundaries, negative self-talk and finishing with Living Intentionally.

📍 Men Matter Scotland
20 Drumchapel Road, G15 6QE

📅 Every Monday for 6 weeks
🍺 Beyond the Bottle, 3pm
🧠 Start Living Now, 6pm

The full Men Matter timetable is attached, with support, groups and activities running throughout the week.

If either of the Get Back Up programmes sounds like something that could help you, come along and give it a try.

No pressure. No expectation to share more than you’re comfortable with. Just honest conversation, practical tools and a chance to look at things from a different perspective.

Get Back Up.

A quieter week for me after being hit with illness from around Tuesday, but still a good one. 😊

On Thursday I linked up with Mindful Man Scotland for some walking football followed by their talking group. It was great to meet some new people, hear more about what they’re doing, and I’m looking forward to a future with each other working together on some projects.

Now onto the week ahead, and I’m really pleased to have two Get Back Up programmes running at Men Matter Scotland every Monday for the next six weeks. 🙌

🍺 3pm | Beyond the Bottle

A six-session programme looking beyond alcohol itself and exploring why drinking can become the answer.

We’ll look at habits, triggers, emotions, consequences, relationships and recovery, while encouraging honest conversations about the role alcohol can play in our lives and how things can begin to change.

🧠 6pm | Start Living Now

Our six-session personal development and wellbeing programme, focused on giving people practical tools they can use in everyday life.

We’ll explore being present, acceptance, responding rather than reacting, healthy boundaries, self-talk and ultimately how we can start living more intentionally.

📍 Men Matter Scotland, Drumchapel Hub
📅 Every Monday for 6 weeks
🍺 Beyond the Bottle, 3pm
🧠 Start Living Now, 6pm

Two different programmes, but with a similar aim.

To create a space where people can talk honestly, look at things from a different perspective, and hopefully leave with something useful they can take into their own lives.

Looking forward to getting started on Monday. 💙🧡

What a way to finish this block of Start Living Now at Men Matter Scotland.

22 men in the room today for Session 6, Living Intentionally.

Over the past six sessions we’ve spoken about being present, accepting what is, responding instead of reacting, let them, boundaries, self-talk, and finally bringing it all together by thinking about how we actually want to live our lives.

My hope is that the guys leave with more than just a few good conversations. I hope they take some of these tools away, practise them, get them wrong sometimes, try again, and use whatever works for them in everyday life.

Seeing a room like this at the end of the programme means a lot to me. Some have been there from the beginning, others joined along the way, and today 22 men completed this final session together.

A massive thank you to everyone who listened, contributed, laughed, challenged themselves and gave the programme a chance.

And I’m very happy to say I’m not disappearing just yet 😂

Next Monday I’ll be back at Men Matter twice:

🍺 3pm, Beyond the Bottle
A new programme looking honestly at alcohol and substance abuse, its impact, the reasons behind our relationship with it, and what life can look like beyond it.

💙 6pm, Start Living Now
Back again with another group and another opportunity to share these tools.

Very grateful for where this journey is taking Get Back Up, and even more grateful to the people who keep turning up and giving me the opportunity to do this work.

Get Back Up. Start Living Now.

Tomorrow at Men Matter Scotland, Drumchapel, we round off this current block of Start Living Now with Session 6:

Living Intentionally

Over the last few weeks we’ve looked at being present, accepting what we can’t control, responding rather than reacting, boundaries, and the way we speak to ourselves.

Tomorrow is about bringing all of that together.

We’ll look at our values, the kind of person we want to be, and how we can start making more deliberate choices about the way we live.

Living intentionally doesn’t mean getting everything right. It means becoming more aware of how we want to show up, what matters to us, and whether our actions are actually moving us in that direction.

A fitting way to finish the programme, and I’m looking forward to bringing everything together with the guys.

❤️ MORE THAN A BOXING MATCH.

Over the past week, we’ve been sharing Robert’s journey towards his charity boxing debut.

A man who has faced difficult times, found support when he needed it, and is now determined to help others.

His story reminds us of something important.

Recovery doesn’t mean life suddenly becomes easy. It means learning to keep moving forward, even when things get difficult.

Robert’s journey is his own, but the message behind it is one we believe in strongly at Get Back Up.

Nobody should feel ashamed of asking for help.

We’re proud to support The Moth as he raises funds for Men Matter Scotland and Rangers Charity Foundation.

🥊 6th December, Normandy Hotel, Renfrew.

If you’ve followed his story this week, please give this post a share.

You never know who might need to see it. 💙🧡

GET BACK UP. KEEP MOVING FORWARD.

🥊 TWO CHARITIES. ONE VERY PERSONAL REASON TO FIGHT.

When Robert steps into the ring this December, he’ll be doing it for more than a boxing experience.

He’s raising money for:

❤️ Rangers Charity Foundation
❤️ Men Matter Scotland

Two organisations he credits with saving his life at different stages of his recovery.

Now he’s determined to help them continue supporting others.

At Get Back Up CIC, we’re proud to be supporting his fundraising efforts.

📅 Sunday 6th December 2026
📍 Normandy Hotel, Renfrew
🥊 Ultra White Collar Boxing, Glasgow

🥊❤️ EVERY FIGHTER NEEDS PEOPLE IN THEIR CORNER!

As Robert “The Moth” Thomson prepares for his charity boxing debut this December, it’s great to see so many people and businesses getting behind him!

Robert’s journey is about far more than stepping into a boxing ring. It’s about giving back to the organisations that supported him through some of the darkest periods of his life.

And he isn’t doing it alone. 👊

A special shout-out to the businesses and organisations showing their support:

👏 PrepDecUk
👏 The Wellbeing Hub
👏 Mucky’s Munchies
👏 Get Back Up CIC

And of course, everyone else who has offered encouragement, shared his story or helped him along the way.

We’re proud to be standing alongside these supporters and helping Robert raise awareness and funds for two incredible causes:

💙 Men Matter Scotland
❤️ Rangers Charity Foundation

Both organisations hold a special place in Robert’s heart, having helped him at different stages of his recovery.

This is what community support looks like. People coming together to help someone turn their own experiences into something positive for others.
