As organisations across the UK and Channel Islands highlight Men’s Health Week (10-16 June), islanders Matt and James tell us why their idea Men Walk Men Talk (MWMT) is so important, and why talking can sometimes be the best medicine.

The idea of MWMT was born after both Matt and James realised that people's free time was becoming less and less and the opportunities to just ‘chat about stuff’ were not happening.

MWMT is quite simply a 5km walk, once a month, where men can meet and talk about whatever they like.

Supported by our Helping Hands fund, MWMT has grown from a very simple idea to an important event in the island’s monthly calendar.
