The hub has been provisionally awarded £9950 to undertake a project called Upping Our Game. Its aim is to become more proactive in reaching out to men in groups identified as at a higher risk of suicide so that they can benefit from the safe, welcoming and supportive environment of the hub…
It is based on the global Men’s Shed model of helping men build friendships and mutual support as they undertake activities ‘shoulder to shoulder’.
The Lancaster Men’s Hub takes this idea further by offering a wider range of activities to suit more men. Their motto is ‘Wellbeing through doing’ and current activities include woodworking, games evenings, walking football, writing group, country walks, knitting and running an allotment.
