Double the difference for men’s mental health
Between 22 and 29 June, every donation to Men Who Talk through Big Give will be doubled whilst match funds last. Your £10 becomes £20. Your £50 becomes £100. Every pound you give goes twice as far.
Men Who Talk runs free, stigma-free online peer support groups where men can talk openly about mental health — not counselling, not therapy, just honest chat.
Every £10 you give creates a space for one man to join a group, open up, and walk away feeling less alone.
For the men we support, Men Who Talk can be a lifeline. We’re a small charity with a big impact. Your donation this Small Charity Week helps us run more groups, train more volunteer facilitators, and reach more men who need somewhere safe to talk.

The Pressure Men Carry
For many men, poor mental health is part of daily life.
We’re told to be strong, successful, and unemotional but that pressure takes its toll.
Even when men want support, they’re often met with services that don’t feel safe, welcoming or built for them.
It’s time for a different approach.
“I felt safe in the group, it was warm and supportive. The other men were open and showed vulnerability.”
Men Who Talk creates simple, stigma-free spaces where men support each other through conversation, not counselling, not therapy, just honest chat.
Founded to tackle the gaps traditional services miss, we use the power of peer support to break down barriers, boost connection, and show that asking for help is not a weakness, but a strength.
