We believe that individual wellbeing is a collective responsibility, and to address male loneliness and the rising mental health crisis in the UK, we need to increase the willingness amongst men to go deeper with one another.

To share their passions, dreams, struggles and stories.

We do this through workshops and weekends that gives everyone a safe place to practice without fear.​

Did you know that the word courage comes from "cor", the Latin word for heart?

What would it look like if you spoke from the heart?

COURAGE IS CONTAGIOUS


A 2019 study by the Movember Foundation found
that
one in three men regularly feel lonely, and 51% of men have two or fewer close friends


We want to see every man supported, filled with confidence, with a vision of hope for their future.

OUR STORY

Welcome

Helping men find courage, build connection and experience belonging.
 

Since 2020, INCOURAGE C.I.C has been bringing men together to share their stories, build meaningful friendships and have conversations that matter.
 

What began as a group of university friends looking out for one another has grown into a community committed to changing how men connect, communicate and support each other.

We have raised over £100,000 for men's wellbeing initiatives and we just want to see this money go directly to those in need. We noticed that men need activities that are engaging, relevant and accessible. So we started a community interest company to scratch this itch. 
 

We believe every man deserves to feel known, valued and encouraged. But too often, the pressures of everyday life leave little room for honest conversations or meaningful connection.
 

Through our weekends, workshops and ongoing community, we create opportunities for men to step away from the everyday, reflect on what matters and develop the confidence to show up more openly in their relationships, workplaces and communities.

Seven Weekends.
Wonderful Workshops.
Countless Conversations.


Our work doesn't end when a weekend or workshop finishes.
We want men to carry that courage into everyday life, strengthening friendships, supporting one another and building communities where nobody has to struggle alone.

Support Us

Too often, the cost of wellbeing programmes puts meaningful support out of reach.

We believe finances should never be the reason a man misses out on an opportunity to connect, grow and find belonging.

86p of every £1 goes directly to delivery
 

Through donations, crowdfunding, fundraising challenges and community events, we keep our weekends and workshops affordable, offering subsidised and fully funded places wherever possible.

Your support helps us reach more men, strengthen our existing community and provide opportunities for connection that continue long after the weekend ends.
 

Because when one man finds the courage to open up, it gives others permission to do the same
