The inaugural meeting of ‘For Men To Talk – Hitchin…and Walk’ held on Friday 5 January 2024, has been hailed as a remarkable success, bringing men together to foster better mental and physical health through the simple act of walking and talking.

Commencing at 5:30 pm, the event started at St Mary’s Church in Hitchin, strategically located opposite the Memorial Fountain. Men from the community gathered to address common concerns such as a lack of friendships and the issue of isolation.
