Across the UK, men are quietly carrying a weight they rarely talk about. Pressure. Expectations. Responsibility. And the old belief that they should simply “get on with it”. The reality is stark: men are struggling, and far too many do so in silence.
At Elysian, we see the impact of that silence every day.
We see the anxiety behind the smile… the exhaustion masked as humour… the overwhelm tucked neatly out of sight. Wellbeing should be accessible, human, and judgement-free — especially for men who’ve spent a lifetime being told to stay strong, stay quiet, and just keep going.
That’s why we’re supporting community initiatives that change the conversation.
The Men’s Release & Recharge Event — A Space to Exhale
This Sunday, we’re proud to support Fight Station Kickboxing as they host their Men’s Release & Recharge Event — a free session designed to give men a genuine outlet.
The afternoon begins with movement and physical release — punching the bags, shaking off tension, and allowing stress to leave the body in a way men instantly connect with. After that, we’ll guide a gentle, grounding relaxation to help bring the mind and nervous system back into balance. Nothing heavy. Nothing intimidating. Just a moment of calm.
Then, tea, cake, and community — with conversation only if you want it.
Why We Choose to Show Up
Men’s mental health isn’t a marketing trend.
It’s a real, raw crisis.
1 in 8 men are living with mental health challenges…
Suicide remains the leading cause of death for men under 50…
And support often comes with long waiting lists or clinical barriers.
We show up because too many men feel they have nowhere to go.
We show up because safe, supportive spaces should be everyday, not rare.
We show up because healing belongs to everyone.
Our Commitment
Elysian exists to help people reconnect with calm, clarity and inner balance. Supporting men’s mental health is an essential part of that mission. If this event gives even one man a sense of relief, connection, or hope — that’s a step forward.
