We have recently met the founder of ‘Kingsmen’ Phil. Running a weekly community support group for men with the ambition to get men talking and discussing their issues. Phil has made it his mission to get rid of the stereotype that men’s emotion don’t matter.
We have built a working relationship with Phil and have been helping him to build his group and reach new heights and audiences. As part of this, Phil will be hosting weekly evening meetings in our town centre office every Thursday evening from 7pm-9pm.
We’re so glad to be partnering with such an incredible organisation and are looking forward to future collaboration.
