💙 Men’s Health Week 💙

As we approach Father’s Day this weekend, we’re proud to support the importance of raising awareness around men’s mental and physical wellbeing. Now more than ever, it’s vital to shine a spotlight on the health challenges men face—and encourage proactive steps towards better health.

There is support available locally for men who may need it:
✅ Andy’s Man Club Basildon – Free weekly peer-support sessions (18+), offering a safe, non-judgemental space to talk, listen and connect. “It’s Okay To Talk.”
✅ Billericay & Pitsea Men’s Sheds – Friendly spaces to socialise, share skills, get involved in practical activities and build supportive friendships—helping tackle loneliness and improve wellbeing.

Cllr Terri Sargent, Cabinet Member for Health and Inclusion, said: “Health and wellbeing support groups play a vital role in bringing people together, tackling loneliness and creating safe spaces where men can have conversations, build friendships and access support. We are proud to support this work and encourage anyone who may be struggling, or simply looking to connect with others, to find out more about what help is available in our borough.”

You can help too by encouraging the men in your life to:
✔️ Book a health check
✔️ Stay active
✔️ Talk openly
✔️ Access support when needed

Have you finished all your Christmas chocolate and sweet treats yet? 🍫

Don’t throw those empty tubs away - Tub2Pub is back for 2026!

Last year, Tub2Pub raised over £10k for us by recycling over 240,000 tubs. With your help, we can beat that record in 2026!

You have until 15th February 2026 to drop off your clean, empty plastic tubs at any participating Greene King Brewery pub, restaurant or hotel, and they’ll help recycle them for you.

The money raised from recycling the plastic helps fund Macmillan’s vital support services. ♻️
