EmpowerMENt - 8 Week Programme for Men

This project is designed by An Inclusive Future to help men of all ages and backgrounds build confidence, improve mental health and raise aspirations. EmpowerMENt is male led and will consist of an 8 week programme consisting of 3 hour weekly sessions starting on Thursday 24th October 2024 at Leyland Civic Centre, West Paddock, Leyland, PR25 1DH.
