Mental health is a practise. By learning to talk and listen we can develop our mental strength and implement a positive mindset and habits. We meet regularly in Henley-on-Thames, and we are here to listen, to share, and to support each other:

Thursday nights

Morris Suite
Christ Church Centre
Reading Road
Henley-on-Thames

Jingle & Mingle
Returns for Xmas!

Last year’s event at the Christ Church Centre was a huge success with over 80 people sitting down for a traditional Christmas lunch with all the trimmings. It took an army of volunteer elves to put the event on headed up by Irenna Bailey and Gary Boys from Henley Man Club to bring the event altogether. As well as Christmas lunch younger guests enjoyed crafts, there was music from Gary (aka DJ One Deck), a quiz between courses, a visit from Santa and carols to finish.

Henley Man Club & Irenna Bailey are working together again and with your help we can make sure no one in Henley spends Christmas Day alone.

Hear what our members say…

“Henley Man Club couldn't have come at a better time in my life. Being able to frankly and openly talk to other men in a safe and confidential space about the struggles and challenges that we all face on a daily basis with no agenda or social pressures is not only enlightening and but genuinely provides a real support platform and real pathways to overcome the problems that so many men face alone. Alone and quietly suffering was a real part of my life. Embarrassed to ask for help. Constant self doubt, am the only one who is struggling to make it work. Why am I getting it wrong where others succeed?”

“Because I was doing what i was brought up to do. Manning up. Keeping it all under the bonet. The engines are broken, but the chassis still shines.

In the three weeks I've been part of the group, I have already created a new path for my career. I can see a way to be financially solvent. I can see progress in my relationship with my family and ex-wife. I can see hope. I know it won't all be OK. But I know I don't have to pretend it all is anymore.”
