Hastings Talk Club

The Grumpy Cook

Talk Club is an initiative that promotes positive mental fitness through conversation. At its core, it’s a safe space for men to share how they’re feeling, listen to others, and gain valuable tools to improve their mental well-being. It’s not therapy or a lecture—just men talking and listening, helping each other in the most human way possible. The sessions will follow a structured yet simple format. Participants answer key questions such as: How are you feeling out of 10? What’s been good for you this week? What can you do to feel better next week? This approach encourages self-reflection and group accountability, building a sense of community and shared purpose.
