Peer Support Groups

Each week Bottled Up Blokes hold 3 peer to peer support groups for men, which we call BUB HUBs. On a Tuesday there is a group at The John Godber Centre in Hucknall from 7pm-9pm, on a Wednesday from 7pm we hold Notts City BUB HUB at the Portland Centre in Nottingham on a Thursday in South Normanton at St Michaels Church Hall from 7pm-10pm. 

We try to make the sessions as relaxed as possible by not having a strict structure. Our main aim is for people to have the opportunity to talk if they wish. During these sessions there are serious discussions and also light hearted subjects.

We hope that people feel better walking out the door than they did walking in through it. The discussions that are had in the room are confidential and stay in the room.

Every so often we will have guest speakers who will attend before the normal group session. From people in suicide prevention to therapist and counsellors.

Refreshments are provided.

The Hucknall BUB HUB is in partnership Nottingham Forest Community Trust and the Notts City BUB HUB is in partnership with The Notts County Foundation.

We now have a new group called BUB Club held every Wednesday 7pm-9pm at Awsworth Youth and Community Centre. This is a more relaxed atmosphere to the BUB HUBs. It helps men who struggle with loneliness and helps them socialise. There is a pool table, table football, table tennis, games consoles plus other activities to entertain people who attend whilst also being an environment for men to speak openly about their mental health
