 The programme will provide a supportive, safe and welcoming learning environment for men in their own communities, and will offer courses that are specifically designed for men and which focus on topics which are of interest to them. These courses will address four key areas: learning, health/well-being, parenting, and community work/volunteering.
“Man Matters” is a partnership project run by the Workers’ Educational Association, Home-Start NI, the Men’s Health Forum in Ireland, Ballynafeigh Community Development Association, and Parents Advice Centre.
This initiative aims to help men to unlock their potential and improve their lives. It will support them to make a positive impact on their health, their children’s lives and their community, as well assisting Health and Social Services to increase their understanding of effective practice with men.
If you have a group of men who might be interested, or you simply want to receive more information, please contact Dawn or Gary at Tel: 02890 329718.

Man Matters brings Health and Safety to Armagh Men’s Shed
|
|
|
|
|
Throughout the winter Man Matters has been delivering a series of courses to members of the Armagh Men’s Shed.
Among the courses run in the Shed were using IT, digital photography and First Aid for the appointed person.
The Armagh shed is a constant hive of activity and is a fantastic resource for local men who come to work in the workshop, attend classes or just have a chat with other men in the group.
Well done lads and here’s looking forward to continued co-operation and growth of this very valuable resource for men.
