St Neots Walk and Talk 4 Men 5th anniversary

That this House congratulates Walk and Talk 4 Men St Neots on celebrating its fifth birthday; commends the dedication of founders Justin Leigh and Steve Whitney, and all its volunteer walk leaders, in creating a free, welcoming and judgement-free space where men can walk together and talk openly about their mental health and wellbeing; notes that the group has supported around 250 men since its founding in March 2021, and is now referred to by local healthcare providers as a valued part of the community support network; recognises the vital role that community-led initiatives like this play in addressing men’s mental health, given that men account for around three quarters of all suicides in the UK, are significantly less likely than women to seek help for mental health difficulties, and are at particular risk of isolation and loneliness; and calls on the Government to recognise the contribution of community-led men’s mental health initiatives in its planning and funding of mental health services.
