Supporting men’s mental
health in the UK

Who are we?

Man Down UK is a non-profit Community Interest Company founded in Cornwall, dedicated to supporting men with mental health challenges.

We run informal, peer-led talking groups across the UK, providing a safe, judgment-free space for men to share their struggles and connect with others who understand.

By fostering open conversations, we aim to break the stigma surrounding men’s mental health and reduce the number of male suicides. Together, we can end the silence and save lives.

 

Our Support Groups

We offer a very informal, safe and relaxed environment for men of all ages  18+ who are struggling with any kind of mental health issues.

Our sessions are designed to be as inclusive as possible with no judgement, only support and understanding from people who can be there to listen and support you.

What we
are all about

In addition to our fortnightly meetups, we organise events and challenges aimed at raising awareness and bringing men together to work through their issues.

We also run weekend retreats that provide space for deeper connection and reflection. Each group regularly arranges its own social events, helping to strengthen bonds and provide ongoing support outside of our regular meetings.

These activities foster a strong, supportive network where men can openly connect, share, and help one another through their struggles.

"It doesn’t matter where you think you are on the mental well-being spectrum, these guys are awesome support. Bringing all perfectly normal blokes together to talk about their experiences should be exactly that - NORMAL "
