‘For Men To Talk’ founder at the ‘Be Active’ – Celebrating Bedfordshire Moving More event

Luke Newman, the founder of ‘For Men To Talk,’ proudly participated in the ‘Be Active’ – Celebrating Bedfordshire Moving More event, which took place on Monday 6 November 2023, at The University of Bedfordshire. This event was a remarkable gathering that brought together a diverse group of participants, including recipients of the ‘Together Fund,’ ‘Inspiring Young Lives’ community groups, schools supported by the ‘Opening Schools Facility Fund,’ and Central Bedfordshire’s ‘Active Community Grant’ recipients.

The ‘Be Active’ event offered a unique platform for these diverse entities to unite and celebrate their collective successes in promoting physical activity and well-being within the Bedfordshire community. Attendees also had the opportunity to share valuable insights, strategies, and experiences in their ongoing efforts to enhance the physical health and overall quality of life for residents across the region.

Luke Newman, the driving force behind ‘For Men To Talk,’ has consistently championed mental health and the importance of open and supportive conversations among men. His presence at the ‘Be Active’ event highlighted the organisation’s commitment to holistic well-being and its belief that mental and physical health are intrinsically connected. The event allowed Luke to engage with a broader network of individuals and organisations that share a common goal of promoting healthier, more active lifestyles.

The ‘Be Active’ event showcased the significance of collaboration and community engagement in enhancing the overall well-being of Bedfordshire residents. Attendees explored a wide array of innovative approaches, programs, and initiatives aimed at encouraging people of all ages to become more physically active, embrace healthy lifestyles, and benefit from the positive effects on their mental health.

Participants were not only inspired by the stories but also gained valuable insights and strategies they implemented in their respective fields.

Luke and ‘For Men To Talk’ look forward to continuing their work to foster a culture of open and supportive discussions around mental health and promoting physical activity as an essential component of overall well-being. The ‘Be Active’ event reinforced their commitment to these important causes and provided an excellent opportunity for collaboration and knowledge-sharing among Bedfordshire’s most dedicated champions of physical and mental health.
