The Mandem: Link Up!
Join us for an evening of community, conversation, and connection. The Mandem is a supportive space where men can come together, share experiences, and connect.
For our May and June Link Ups, we're teaming up with UpCycle LDN, which is hosting at their community hub in Brixton.
What to Expect:
Film screening exploring themes of identity, relationships, mental health, and social issues
Shared meal and open discussion about the film
Safe space for check-ins and honest conversation
Opportunity to connect with like-minded men from diverse backgrounds
Founded in 2018 by artist Francis Augusto, The Mandem has evolved into a community centred on kindness, food, and learning. Our Link Ups create an environment where men can explore their feelings, make connections across social circles, and support one another.
This isn't therapy, but it's a space that encourages conversations about everyday mental health, fears, and experiences. Some conversations might inspire further reflection or professional support.
For these two Link Ups, we're proud to partner with UpCycle LDN — a community-powered organisation using cycling as a tool to build confidence, create opportunities, and change lives for young people across London.
All who identify as men are welcome.
