Men’s writing: an introduction
Designed particularly to promote mental well-being and continuing education, the men’s writing courses produce works that challenge, puzzle and make the reader laugh and cry in equal measure.
The participants in the first course were part of the Test the Town project (an initiative to encourage people back into learning) that focused on brushing up their English skills before going on to achieve Certificates in Adult Literacy. Part of the funding also came from the Age Concern Mid Mersey designed-and-delivered Men2Mentor Project that promoted positive mental well-being by encouraging older men to participate in physical exercise, healthy eating and other activities.
Partnerships that made this project possible include:
- Age Concern Mid Mersey – Men2Mentor – Fit as a Fiddle Project
- Connector Media
- St Helens College
- St Helens Test the Town Project
- The Well Being Project
- The Big Lottery Fund
