We celebrate Local People - wonderful independent businesses in Bristol, Portishead and Weston super Mare...
Talk Club is a UK male mental health charity helping men to improve their mental health.
We prefer to call it mental fitness because our talking groups actively help men to understand how they’re feeling by asking ‘How are you? Out of 10?’ then explaining why. It helps to build resilience, and the numbers prove it.
We wear the Bristol name as a badge of honour. We live, breathe and brew this city and have always looked for ways to give back.
Whether it’s supporting local charities or sponsoring local events, repaying the
communities and the city that made us is so important to the BBF team.
