It gave me a reason to get out
Experience of other people’s memories and motivations, great long conversations across many topics not just the price of fresh food recently rising unprecedentedly!
I had a fun experience working in the group
This weekly group supports men living in North Edinburgh.
We aim to reduce social isolation and loneliness, and the harms caused, by offering increased opportunities for local men to build connections with each other and the local area, and improve mental health and wellbeing through activities that focus on being outdoors more often.
We will use the local environment to encourage people to explore their neighbourhood, have fun, while increasing a sense of belonging and increasing personal and community capacity. This is a community led group, coming together post pandemic to connect and try a range of activities including outdoor cooking, fishing, wild swimming, cycling and local walks. Men lmeet up and make the most of the local community. The group shares food, often cooking a meal and wider wellbeing discussions can take place if anyone needs any more advice or support.
