TALK & EXERCISE
Talk & Exercise groups are peer to peer talking groups that include a physical activity. These session are run by volunteers we call Captains.
WHAT IS A TALK & EXERCISE GROUP?
A Talk & Exercise group is a peer to peer talking group that includes some form of physical activity, such as Talk & Football or Talk & Walk… These sessions are run by volunteers we call Captains. We train Captains to facilitate groups in communities across the UK. These groups are held in spaces that work for the activity in the group. For example, a Talk & Run group may meet by a local playing field and a Talk & Yoga group may meet at a local Yoga studio.
The groups use a light version of the Talk Club sharing model which starts with ‘How are you? Out of 10?’. This simple question helps men to put a number on how they feel, (1 being rock bottom and 10 being on top of the world) then explain why.
Sessions usually last according to the length of the physical activity. Groups meet at different times, days and frequencies depending on the Captain and availability of space in the community.

DONATE TO CHANGE LIVES
Your donation will help us in our mission to create a mentally fit society and change lives.
Our team of staff and volunteers works tirelessly to build a community where men can thrive, get their numbers up, and keep them up.
Just like physical fitness, mental fitness needs regular attention and practice to make a lasting difference.
At Talk Club, you can improve your mental fitness by attending one of our Talk & Listen, Talk & Exercise, or Talk & Craft groups.
And if you feel your numbers are dropping, we’re here to help lift them back up through our therapy groups or one-to-one sessions with fully qualified therapists.
