What it is
A gentle group walk, in good company
Once a month, on a Saturday morning, a small group of men meet to walk together in the Kent countryside around Canterbury. The pace is easy. The route is gentle. There's nothing to prepare and nothing to perform.
It isn't therapy. It isn't a crisis service. It's an honest, low-pressure way for men to be alongside other men for a couple of hours. Conversation tends to come more easily when you're walking side by side, looking ahead, with the weather on your face.
Some men come because sitting in a room feels too much. Some come because they're isolated and want a way back into connection. Some just want fresh air and a few hours away from the usual.
Side-by-side often feels easier than face-to-face. Walk in silence if that's what you need.
Who it's for
For men who want a different kind of doorway
Men who feel isolated and want connection
Men who find face-to-face talking difficult
Men who prefer movement and nature to a meeting room
Men in recovery, or stabilising after a hard stretch
Men who want a low-pressure way to access support
Men who just want a few honest hours among other men
What to expect
A simple, steady rhythm
Meet at the agreed spot
Location shared in your confirmation email. Easy parking nearby. Arrive a few minutes early so we can welcome everyone.
A gentle walk
Around 60 to 90 minutes on accessible paths. Steady pace. No one is left behind.
No pressure to share
Conversations happen naturally, side by side. You can walk in silence, listen, or talk. All of it is welcome.
Optional grounding pause
A short stop midway to breathe, take in the view, and check in with how the walk is landing.
A facilitator is present
Someone from MENd Together holds the space gently and quietly throughout the walk.
Finish with a check-out
Back at the meeting point we close together, what you're taking away, what's next, anything you might need.

Safety & suitability
A few honest things before you join
MENd Together is not a crisis service. If you, or someone you're worried about, is in immediate danger or unable to keep themselves safe, please contact emergency services or a crisis line.
We warmly welcome men with lived experience of addiction and recovery. To keep the walk safe for everyone, we ask that participants attend sober and able to engage safely on the day.
When you register, you'll be asked to confirm you're safe to attend and to agree to a small set of group expectations, respect, confidentiality, and care for each other.
