Talking Support
The 8:56 Talk and Support team run free, social groups for Men. They give people the opportunity to socialise, build friendships and get peer support with others. We offer peer support over a digital platform and our friends Fen Zen offer monthly face to face sessions at the fire circle.
Talking therapy gives men the opportunity to talk with a fully trained and accredited practitioner, these sessions are funded by the 8:56 Foundation

About Peer Support
Peer support is when people use their own experiences to help each other. There are different types of peer support, but they all aim to:
- bring together people with shared experiences to support each other
- provide a space where you feel accepted and understood
- treat everyone’s experiences as being equally important
- involve both giving and receiving support.
Men’s Fire Circle – The benefits of sitting in circles with other men, around a fire, no pressure to talk, but the opportunity to share time, space, and community.
Refreshments provided.
This is a free event but donations gratefully received!
