What we offer
MensCraft offers support, activities and spaces where men can connect, build purpose and improve their wellbeing – whether they’re looking for community, activities, or help through a difficult time.
Groups
At MensCraft, groups are facilitated spaces where men can find support and belonging. Most run weekly, some are drop-ins open to any man aged 18 or over, others are for men accessing our more structured support services – but all are free to attend.

Mindfulness for men
Your thoughts aren’t facts. Break the cycle of overthinking and low moods with our eight-week Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) course—a supportive, confidential space designed for men to master practical tools for mental clarity.
Men's Sheds
MensCraft and Men’s Sheds have a long shared history. The first Norwich Men’s Shed – one of the first in the whole of the UK – was started by some of the founders and first employees of MensCraft. We work in partnership to increase opportunities for men in Norfolk.
