Talk Club Chard

Thinking about coming along to Talk Club Chard but not really sure what happens?

Talk Club isn’t about sitting around talking for hours. It has a simple format of 4 rounds, and once we’ve gone through those 4 rounds, that’s it — Talk Club done.

Round 1: How are you out of 10?
You can explain why if you feel comfortable.

Round 2: What is something you’re grateful for?

Round 3: What are you going to do over the next two weeks for your mental health?

Round 4: What is your checkout score?
How are you out of 10 now?

And that’s it.

If only one person comes along, we might be finished in around 40 minutes. If there are more of us, it naturally takes longer. We don’t drag it out just to fill the two hours.

There’s no pressure to say more than you want to, and you don’t need to be struggling to come along.

It’s simple, relaxed and gives men a safe place to check in with themselves and each other.

4 rounds. No pressure. No judgement. That’s Talk Club.

Hi, I’m Scott, the other captain at Talk Club Chard.

I helped set up Talk Club Chard because I wanted to give something back to the town I’ve called home for the past 18 years. I also wanted to give back to a charity that has helped me so much and enabled me to meet new people.

Gary and I want to create something that supports men in our community with the daily struggles we all face, while giving them a safe place to talk.

Talk Club follows an easy four-round format. Any man aged 18 or over is welcome, and you don’t have to talk if you don’t want to. It’s a relaxed and friendly environment where you can meet new people, make connections and say what’s really on your mind.

We meet every other Thursday from 6:30pm to 8:30pm at Chard Community Hub.

Our next meeting is Thursday 27th August. It would be great to see some new faces, so come along for a warm welcome, a chat and a brew!

Hi, my name is Gary, and I’m one of the captains at Talk Club Chard.

I wanted to put a face to all the posts we share and hopefully show you that we are just normal people, just like you.

So, why did we set up Talk Club in Chard?

Su***de is the biggest killer of men under 50 in the UK. A big part of the problem is that us men don’t always talk.

We go through life saying everything is okay, even when we are finding things hard. We still smile and say, “I’m fine. I’m okay. Nothing’s wrong.”

But a lot of the time, that isn’t the truth.

So, really ask yourself: are you okay?

Talk Club is simply a place where men can meet, talk honestly about how they are feeling and hopefully meet other like-minded people.

It is a safe space to say what is really going on. It all starts with one simple question:

“How are you out of 10?”

Our next meeting is on Thursday 27th August at Chard Community Hub, starting at 6:30pm.

You are welcome to just pop in, have a chat and ask how it works. If you want to take part in the four rounds of Talk Club, that’s great too—but there is absolutely no pressure.

If you’re reading this and thinking, “I know someone this could help,” please pass the details on to them.

And if you ask someone one question today, ask them:

“How are you out of 10?”

Then, after they answer, ask them again.

A lot of people don’t believe you really want to know the first time you ask.

❤️ USE US OR LOSE US ❤️

We really need more men to come along and be part of Talk Club Chard.

You don’t need to be struggling. You don’t have to talk about anything personal, and there is no pressure at all.

You might just want to meet some like-minded men, have a chat, a laugh and get out of the house for a bit.

But without your support, Talk Club Chard may not be able to continue.

Please come along, give it a go and help us keep this much-needed group going in Chard. You never know, you might really enjoy it — and it could help someone else just by being there.

Come as you are. Any men over 18 are welcome. 💚

SO… WHAT IS TALK CLUB CHARD? 🤔

I hear you ask!

At its heart, Talk Club is a safe, friendly space for men to come along, meet people and have a chat. No pressure, no judgement and you don’t have to talk about anything you don’t want to.

But here’s the thing…

We want Talk Club Chard to grow into what YOU want it to be.

💬 Maybe we stay as a men’s talking group.

🚶 Maybe we start a Walk & Talk group.

🌳 Maybe we take it outdoors.

💡 Or maybe you’ve got a completely different idea!

We don't want to sit here and guess what the men of Chard need.

We want to hear from YOU.

What would make you want to come along?

What would help men in Chard meet people, make friends and feel comfortable talking?

👇 Drop your ideas in the comments — no idea is a bad one.

This is your community, and we'd love your help shaping what Talk Club Chard becomes. 💚

What to know more about us and what we are all about tune in to BBC radio Somerset at around 11:00 to 11:30 to hear me talk club Chard and maybe come along tonight and say hi

As one of the Talk Club Chard captains, I just wanted to put a personal invitation out there.

Every time we meet we're trying to build something really important – a place where men can come, have a brew, chat, listen, or simply be around other people who get it. There's no judgement, no pressure to talk, and no expectation. Just a friendly, welcoming group.

If you've ever thought, "Maybe I should go, but I'm not sure," then I'd really encourage you to come along. You don't have to be struggling to attend. Sometimes it's just good to get out of the house and have a conversation.

📅 Thursday 13 August
🕡 6:30pm

Whether you're coming for the first time or you've been before, you'll be made to feel welcome.

I'd also really appreciate it if you could share this post. You never know who in Chard or the surrounding villages might need to see it. One share could make all the difference.

Hope to see a few new faces on Thursday the 13th at 6.30 pm Chard Community Hub
