Elliot's Place
Peer support for men locally focusing on mental wellbeing
We use our own experiences to help people find their way, being alongside them to listen and remind them that they are not alone.
From the tragic loss of Elliot Taylor to suicide, we have worked alongside his family and friends to develop Elliot’s Place, a place of hope and safety.
We work hard to address, challenge and reduce the stigma that still surrounds mental health conversations, particularly in male-dominated environments. We are loud in our message for men to reach out and speak honestly about how life is for them.
We have a packed weekly programme of activities for you to get involved in
From boxing and snooker to well-being walks and a well-earned brew, it’s often the simple things that create meaningful conversations, lasting connections and a real sense of belonging. There’s no pressure and no commitment, just a free, welcoming space where you can come as you are and access support when you need it.
