What's it about?

Men's Space offers support and friendship mainly for men aged over 50 years old living in the Ladywood, Edgbaston and Harborne areas.

We aim to help every man to feel connected, supported and thrive in life, working with men who are feeling isolated and lonely, who are keen to meet others and try new things that help to engage them in the community.

Men's Space is about:

​

• Friendship

• Connection

• Support

• Encouragement

• Fun

• Challenge

• Adventure

 

Karis offers support and friendship to those who need it most. We come alongside men in need of this kind of support, acting as good neighbours and in really practical ways, to help them through whatever hardships are arising in their lives.

​

How can we help?

We run a range of activities that men can get involved in, providing support and encouragement, and enabling friendships to be formed that can help reduce isolation and loneliness. By meeting together, our community feels more connected with greater opportunities for men to have a sense of belonging and purpose.

Our current activities include:

​

• Table tennis

• Walking for Health

• Gardening

• Board games

• Coffee and chat mornings

• Monthly themed evening events

 

We are always reviewing, with our participants, their interests and needs and, with them, building new activities around the feedback we receive.
