May is mental fitness month
May is Talk Club Mental Fitness Month, a month of raising numbers for men across the UK through events that start real conversations and vital fundraising for men everywhere to become mentally fit.
With May being one of the worst months for male suicides, every penny raised will help us help communities, from setting up more clubs to putting men through Talk Club therapy.
May 2025 is bigger than ever before. It kicks off with the first ever Talk Club Cup with Celebs and Legends from Bristol Rovers and Bristol City fighting it out for pride in a local derby you won’t want to miss. There’s the Big Talk Club Walk that is growing by the mile, Talk Club 180 that invites local businesses to help staff get mentally and physically fit by racing 180 miles, and the staple TC Tobacco Factory Take Over. There’s more, much more. See our Calendar of events below as they’re confirmed.
Bristol Beer Factory raises up communities in Bristol using a 2% on total brewery sales. They call this BREWED TO GIVE.
Every beer you buy gives back to Bristol.
