Men’s Group

Weekly group offering food, shelter and friendly environment for destitute men

Who are we

The Men’s Group is a FREE weekly drop-in session where we welcome men from all cultures and nationalities who are asylum seekers, refugees or migrants.
Through this group we help to reduce social isolation, increase people’s confidence, sense of belonging and strengthen cultural identity.
We offer an informal, very friendly and relaxed environment where men can play pool, table tennis and board games.
 
The group also offers an opportunity to meet other men and make new friends. By meeting others in similar circumstances the group can share ideas, difficulties and experiences, and offer each other mutual support. 
 
We organise workshops, talks and leisure outings, and can also offer advice about other services and providers to aid general wellbeing.
 
The group relies on a dedicated team of volunteers and staff from Coventry Refugee and Migrant Centre and Carriers of Hope to run the service.
 
Anyone interested in volunteering can find out more by emailing our Volunteering Co-ordinator at:
The Men’s Group meets every Tuesday, at 1.00 pm – 3:00 pm at Norton House, Bird Street, CV1 5FX
