Teesside Active Mens Club (TAMC)
TAMC is our cornerstone for building strong, supportive networks among men. We organize regular activities and meet-ups that encourage peer support, open conversations, and shared experiences, helping to combat isolation and build lasting friendships.
Safe Space Teesside (SST)
Safe Space Teesside provides confidential and non-judgmental environments where men can openly discuss their mental health challenges. Our trained facilitators ensure a secure setting for honest expression, fostering trust and enabling access to vital resources.
Move
Our 'Move' initiative encourages physical activity as a powerful tool for mental well-being. From group walks to sports, we create opportunities for men to get active together, boosting mood, reducing stress, and promoting a healthy lifestyle.
Connect
'Connect' is all about fostering meaningful relationships and reducing social isolation. We host various social events and gatherings, providing relaxed settings for men to build camaraderie, share interests, and develop a strong sense of community.
Escape
Through 'Escape', we offer opportunities for men to step away from daily pressures and engage in recreational activities. These sessions provide a mental break, encourage relaxation, and allow for a reset, promoting overall mental resilience and well-being.
