Supporting
Reaching the place where the real change happens can be challenging, but together we’ll create a space to help you get there
Welcome to a safe space – to be heard, supported and empowered
A place where you can:
We meet at regular intervals in a woodland near Lewes and sit in a circle around an open fire.
About us
We are a group of five men, deeply rooted in the Lewes community, where we’ve lived for many years and raised our children
On a regular basis, we meet up with each other to: listen without judgement, hold each other to account where we fall short, celebrate each other’s wins, provide emotional strength when life is too hard to deal with alone and inspire each other to fulfill our dreams
We have trained as facilitators through The ManKind Project and served as mentors with A Band of Brothers, (a local charity dedicated to guiding young men in Brighton and Eastbourne)
Together we have several decades of experience supporting men on their journeys and now we’re bringing our passion, experience, and expertise to the next generation. Through Spark, we’re here to support, challenge, and empower young men in a way that fosters real growth and transformation
Lets walk this path together
Upcoming circles
Join other men around a fire, deep in the woods to tackle the questions in your heart.
