Delivered in conjunction with BMS Wellbeing CIC
Alongside our community wellbeing work, BMS Wellbeing CIC worked in conjunction with Rewired for Men to support men who are struggling with stress, pressure, emotional shutdown, and the weight of everyday life.
Rewired for Men is a one to one wellbeing programme designed specifically for men aged 30 and over who are experiencing stress, emotional overload, burnout, or disconnection in their personal and working lives.
Through this project, 25 men completed the programme through fully funded places, accessing support that is practical, structured, and focused on lasting change. You can read the full programme feedback and outcomes report on our feedback reports page.
Project Update
This funded project has now come to an end. We are actively seeking further funding to continue delivering fully funded places to men across Greater Manchester. Our ambition is to expand the programme so that men in every part of Greater Manchester can access practical, structured support when they need it most. If you are a funder or commissioner who shares our commitment to male wellbeing and early intervention, we would love to hear from you.
