Helping the community by helping individuals

We are dedicated to promoting and enhancing the quality of life for men and young boys struggling with mental health issues, self-esteem, confidence, and overall wellbeing.

Like our name probably gives away, Menkind's roots as a Birmingham community charity started with what we saw as a lack of support services for men.

As we've continued to listen to men and connect them with the help they need, we've come to see the men's mental health crisis as a symptom of a larger problem with community cohesion. Through our efforts, we empower individuals and, in turn, the communities they are a part of. When we help the community at large, we support the individuals that make it up.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Looking to get involved? Here's how you can help

We offer a range of programmes and services that aim to empower individuals and communities. From mentorship programmes to community outreach initiatives, our programmes are designed to make a lasting impact.

Breaking the cycle of antisocial behaviour with youth work

One common concern we hear at our meetings is antisocial behaviour throughout Birmingham – and Menkind are dedicated to tackling this issue before it can start.

Unchecked antisocial behaviour in childhood and teenagerhood will eventually develop into more serious behaviour later in life. With this in mind, our philosophy is simple: by investing in young people, we invest in the future of our community.

By intervening early, we aim to

  • Empower young men, particularly those who might lack positive role models and support systems earlier in life.
  • Provide positive outlets through engaging activities and mentorship problems that foster positive development
  • Break the cycle by addressing the underlying issues that lead to antisocial behaviour.

 

 

 

 

The Menkind Vision

An Empowered Community

A strong sense of community bonds is the bedrock of a thriving society. We tackle social injustices and advocate for policies that promote equality.

 

An Engaged Community

Birmingham is a vibrant tapestry of different cultures and backgrounds, and we want to see them brought together. That's why we foster dialogue between subcommunities whenever we can, breaking down distrust and replacing this with collaboration and respect.

A United Community

The best change comes through collective action. We offer opportunities for people to come together, whether it's volunteering for a local park cleanup or participating in a community event.
