Menfulness - York’s Social Community for Men

We're at All Saints Hall, Station Rise, YO26 6DA on Sunday morning from 9am.

serving freshly made Bacon & Sausage Sandwiches, Tea & Coffee, Oranfe Juice, Fresh Fruit and Cereal

Whether you want to vent what you're going through, grow your support network, meet up with your mates or just take the kids out for a couple of hours.

But, it's more than just butties and a brew - Menfulness is a registered local charity and an inclusive social community for men. Our aim is to bring people together to socialise, talk and let off steam in a non-judgmental, friendly and supportive environment.

There is plenty of on and off-street parking nearby, but none at the actual Hall. The no.10 bus from York drops you nearby.

We look forward to seeing you.

We never want finances to be a barrier to events, so if you can't afford it, please do still come along... it's on us. 💙

Our monthly walk and talks take place on the 1st Sunday of every month, 1300-1430.

After a testing couple of years our monthly #menfulness walk and talks are more needed than ever before.
They offer a good old chat about anything you like, light exercise, fresh air and all-round great company 🙂

Always meeting outside the Museum Gardens entrance on Museum Street, the walks will change each time but will always be central and no longer than 90 minutes. Requests are welcome 👍

See you there! 😎

We want ti make sure everyone's safe while playing football with us. Please make sure you've registered with Play Football via this link (you only need to do this once):

https://portal.weplayfootball.com/Registration/v1/RegistrationForm.aspx

Please make sure you play at your own pace and ability keeping in mind any medical conditions you have. Feel free to take a breather at any point and let the other players know if you're not feeling great.

We advise you to do a warm up and a cool down either side of playing.

A great opportunity to vent what you've got going on, whether times are hard or easy. It doesn't matter what you're going through, we're not comparing our struggles, it's just good to have people to listen and understand us.

There's no obligation to speak and you won't be expected to do so unless you wish. But please do feel free to share your story, especially if it's relevant and might help someone else with theirs, we're not looking for advice or anyone to solve anyone's problems, just talking and lending a supportive ear.

Trigger Warning: Please be aware these events can be emotionally draining as well as hugely inspiring. You may hear things from your fellow men that trigger something you have been through, hosts will facilitate the sessions but please look after your own wellbeing and ensure you only attend having taken this into consideration.

(Pizza and light refreshments are provided - Thanks to our generous donors)

The 1st Monday of every month, unless it's a bank holiday (if this is the case it will be the week after)
