A WhatsApp-based men's mental health group founded in Cheltenham has expanded into a nationwide support network with about 90 members and additional sub-groups tailored to shared interests. Registered as a Community Interest Company, the group offers twice-weekly wellbeing polls, direct check-ins and in-person events, aiming to reduce social anxiety and encourage openness. Leaders identify and invite men who appear to be struggling, while former members such as Gareth Blackburn have moved into leadership roles after benefiting from the support system.
