We support male sex workers, homeless men and men involved in the criminal justice system. We offer them opportunities to get involved in high quality arts projects whilst accessing one to one support for challenges they face in their everyday lives. Our work engages young men experiencing multiple disadvantage, including homeless men, sex workers, men with experience of sexual exploitation, offenders, and men struggling with mental health problems and substance misuse. We work with artists on a diverse range of projects throughout the year, whilst also offering outreach services and personalised support to our service users. Project Director Fergal defines our approach as 'marrying the Health & Social department with creative intervention, offering the men respite and a space for reflection, whilst also giving them a creative outlet they wouldn't otherwise get. This allows them to engage with positivity and creativity, to be young men.' The Men's Room has staff, partners and volunteers from both the arts and social care agencies. CONTACT US FOR SUPPORT If you are a young man who would like support or are an agency who would like to refer a young man, please call Hayley on 07582 243 701 or e-mail her at [email protected] FOR GENERAL INFORMATION For any general enquiries about The Men's Room please e-mail us at: [email protected] or call our office on 0161 834 1827.
