What We Do? We offer coffee groups weekly across Wakefield. We will take a brief referral and you can attend for as long as you wish.
Aims? To combat low mood and feelings of isolation and are open to all men aged 18+ who reside in Wakefield. We recognise that group settings can be daunting and we will work with you to introduce you to other members of the group and the MAN MATTERS team. Our groups are run by MAN MATTERS staff and volunteers who will facilitate small group discussions and activities such as cards and quizzes. We are also available throughout for a 1-2-1 chat.
Purpose? The purpose of these groups is to bring men together across Wakefield and help them build in confidence. We are there to also offer a check in if you need it and a chance to offload after a hectic week or a bad day at work. MAN MATTERS staff will be available from the moment you enter to introduce you to the team and attendees. There is no pressure for you to speak we go at your pace all we need to know is how you like your brew!
