A MEN’S mental health group was given a new look to mark its first anniversary.
David Wilson Homes Mercia donated £1,000 to Solihull’s Men Walking and Talking Group to create t-shirts for the group.
Created for men to come together to talk about their issues, the group celebrated its first anniversary earlier this month and once again broke its records with 54 attendees.
Danny Smith, founder of Men Walking and Talking Solihull, said: “It’s been an absolute honour and pleasure leading this group of guys each week.
“The anniversary walk was nothing short of incredible, and knowing that our future is set to grow as a unit in Solihull means we can continue reaching more guys across the borough, keep helping improve people’s lives, personal situations and individual challenges.
“Our new t-shirts are being worn with pride and enable us to proactively, and indirectly, promote the group in our daily lives.”
The group’s first ever walk was on October 8, 202 -; one of the wettest nights of the year and only five people turned up.
From there, the group grew until a walk in December had 30 people in attendance, which was an unprecedented number for them.
Helen Lewis, managing director at David Wilson Homes Mercia, said: “We are proud to support Danny and the Men Walking and Talking team in Solihull.
“It’s incredibly important to create spaces like these where people can feel supported, whilst having someone else to talk to.
“Community is so vitally important, and we hope that Danny can continue to grow and expand this community so that more people can benefit from all his hard work.”
