building meTn have the opportunity to chat and connect with other men in a relaxed environment about health and personal issues that they may not be able to discuss elsewhere ,thereby opening up effective lines of communication and expression which will contribute to their mental health and help develope positive attitudes and outlooks. -The men have the opportunity to take part in group and/ or individual projects which involves and benefits the local community- eg wood working projects such as making garden furniture, chairs, benches and floral planters . This physical activity is very beneficial to the men in that it developes and promotes their physical health and mobility- giving every member an incentive to attend regularly and a sense of inclusion and achievement as they see projects progress from inception to completion. - The men are able to learn new skills and then apply them to their individual or group projects giving the benefit of social inclusion and capacity building .
