The power of conversation is one of the most important weapons in the fight against suicide and mental ill health. So that’s what lies at the heart of MATES, our online chat in the members only Facebook group allows and encourages our community to speak and get everything off of their chests, the release of thoughts and worries is such an important thing to do. Our online community of over 900+ caring and understanding people are their to listen, support and share tips, contacts and advice, whilst our MATES Ambassadors are there to listen, chat and signpost to professional services where necessary.

We are a team of ever expanding MATES Ambassadors that will continue to grow as our online community does. Conversations Change Lives so we want to do all that we can to start and facilitate those conversations. We hold weekly drop ins, weekly walks weekly runs at ParkRun, quiz nights, cycle rides, big walks, yoga and mindfulness sessions, weekly football fitness sessions, we also have both a full and a five a side football team to provide an opportunity to be part of a team again, but with us there is no necessity for commitment, it’s one match at a time and everything is free to those from our community!
