Take Advantage of Free Health Checks and Screening Services

Most men aged 40-74 in England should be invited for an NHS Health Check. It can help spot upcoming heart disease, stroke, kidney disease, diabetes and other health problems. Bowel screening is also available for men over 50. If you haven’t been invited or haven’t had a check for 5 years or more ask your GP for an appointment.

Men’s Sheds Community Groups

They’re community spaces for men to connect, converse and create. The activities are often similar to those of garden sheds, but for groups of men to enjoy together. They help reduce loneliness and isolation, but most importantly, they’re fun
