Lionminded UK
The Project in a Nutshell
Swansea Bay Foundation is pleased to support Lionminded UK’s Men’s Wellness Coffee Mornings — a grassroots initiative aimed at tackling loneliness and supporting men’s mental health in the Mayhill and wider Swansea community. Held weekly at Mayhill Community Centre, these sessions provide a welcoming space for local men to meet, talk, and build lasting social connections.
Our funding supports venue hire for the first 10 weeks, helping establish a safe, informal environment where friendships can form and the foundation for longer-term support and skill-sharing is built.
Why This Matters
Many men in Mayhill and surrounding areas lack access to regular social opportunities or “third spaces” — places where they can meet others and feel part of a community. These coffee mornings offer connection, purpose, and early steps toward personal development, particularly for those struggling with isolation or mental health challenges.
Led by an experienced community volunteer with deep local ties, the project has the potential to grow into something greater — including future skill-sharing, volunteering, and wellbeing activities. Swansea Bay Foundation is proud to back this important first step in helping men reconnect, support one another, and build stronger communities from the ground up.
