Our story
How four blokes and a flask turned into a club.
Self Invested Men started with four mates, a flask of tea and a walk along the front on a Monday night. One of them had been having a rough time. None of them said so. They just kept turning up.
A few weeks later there were eleven of them. Then someone brought a mate who had not left the house much since his divorce. Then someone else's dad. It turned out that walking side by side, or running, or lifting something heavy, is the easiest way there is for men to talk. Or not talk, and still feel better.
What we are
A men's health and wellbeing charity. In plain terms, a club. We put on walks, runs, gym sessions, hikes and social meet ups, and they are free to every man.
What we are not
We are not a clinic and we are not counsellors. If you need more than a walk and a brew, we will help you find the people who can help, and our get help page has the numbers.
Stronger together. Better every day.
That is the whole idea. Positive energy, good intentions, and somebody who notices if you are not there on Monday.
