Mankind meet weekly in Eastbourne, Heathfield & Hailsham

A poem from one of our members.

There have been times when I’ve been feeling low and want to be alone,

I avoided going to see the ‘Mankind’ team and faced it on my own.

But later, when my head was right, I thought, ‘what a silly thing to do’,

Because, all those lovely ‘Mankind’ guys are always there for you.

So now, if I am feeling down and cannot see an end

I visit my ‘Mankind’ brothers, where I know I’ve got a friend.

John Kirby from Mankind
Cold Water Swimming

Thank you to the BBC for coming down to meet some of the guys and helping us promote Mankind to a wider audience.

A man from Eastbourne said joining a cold water swimming group changed his life after struggling with his mental health.

Cold Club, which runs cold water swimming sessions for men at Eastbourne beach all year round, is an offshoot of men’s mental health charity Mankind.

John Kirby said the charity provides a “safe space” for men to talk, which has been “amazing” for him.
