In January 2020 we launch our mental health initiative for young men aged 16-32 years of age.This initiative (Wallnuts) was a collaboration between Dr Legumes CIC(Lee & James) & Councillor Arike Stan Grant, supported by the .The duration of Wallnuts was for a period of 6weeks. This was a weekly meet-up to provide an opportunity for a diverse group of young men to sit around a table, share a meal and discuss ways of improving on and managing our own mental health. Here we had the opportunity to discuss challenges we face, identity issues as well as ways and means we as men can be more available for each other. The workshops gave us an opportunity to cook together and expand on group knowledge of plant based food.Our first 6-weeks were was attended by 11 individuals and completed just in time for the Covid-19 Lockdown.

We will be continuing this initiative as we progress and settle in to our new space.We hope to partner with other local charities and community groups to bring this to fruition.🌱🌱🌱
