Getting men together to be more active and make friends

We identified a real need within our service to provide activities for men who were lonely, socially isolated and who lacked social interactions and activity in their lives. Thanks to the National Lottery, we were able to put the Active Men programme into action.

We have been able to set up some fantastic sports based social sessions and activities especially for older men that take place across the city, which are built around the men that attend. This includes: Walking groups, Walking Football, bowling, kurling, games, quizzes and activity groups. 

The men that come have great fun:

“It gives us a reason to get up and get going. It means we’re outside in the fresh air for at least a couple of hours. It’s extremely beneficial to all aspects of health and wellbeing.”
