The Men's Network is run by staff wellbeing champions. We offer men from all departments a safe space to discuss any concerns around physical health, mental health and general wellbeing – or a chance to simply to connect with other male colleagues.

About the network
The Men's Network is a space where all male staff within the University are invited to come together to socialise and discuss concerns.
Aims of the group
Our network members have the opportunity to share their experiences and seek advice or support. It's our hope that these conversations and shared experiences will lead to connections and mutual support between men across the University.
We aim to
- Show it’s ok to ask for help
- Raise awareness that poor mental health is the same as poor physical health
- Heighten awareness on how to to improve mental and physical health
- Bring men together to share experiences, talk about concerns and develop friendships
- Reduce the feeling of isolation and loneliness
- Signpost to organisations who can help
How we are doing this
We provide a safe space for men to discuss any concerns including physical health, mental health and general wellbeing. Since the group started, we’ve organised free health MOTs, heard from a prostate specialist, run yoga and movement sessions and held social get togethers.
It is hoped that these conversations will lead to meaningful connections and mutual support between men across the University.
