Men Only Thursdays
Cancer Support Group
If you have been affected by cancer, whether because you have a cancer diagnosis yourself or are a family member or carer of someone with cancer, why not join us for MOT – Men Only Thursdays.

We know many men find it hard to talk. MOT offers a relaxed, supportive space where you can connect with others who understand – no pressure, no judgement.
While we have a strong focus on supporting men from African and Caribbean backgrounds, we welcome all men affected by cancer.
We provide refreshments and a light lunch. So pop in and join us for your fortnightly MOT!
Reasonable travel expenses paid upon production of a receipt.
You don’t have to face cancer alone. We’re here to support you.
Fortnightly on Thursdays, from 1pm to 3pm (see below for dates).
We meet at Kath Locke Centre, 123 Moss Lane East, Manchester M15 5DD.

What we offer
Real conversations in a safe, respectful space
Peer support from men with shared experiences
Practical advice and shared knowledge
Wellbeing activities including light physical activity, mindfulness, and relaxation therapies
A chance to connect, build friendships, and support each other
