The Hastings and St Leonards Men's Health and Wellbeing Project's long-term vision is:
Men living in in Hastings and St Leonards are living happier, healthier, and longer lives. They are at the heart of decision making about their lives and thrive in strong, supportive, and well-connected communities, where they can fulfil their potential.
The project aims to increase collaboration between local men, and the systems that surround them and impact on their lives, health and wellbeing.
This workshop will bring together local stakeholders.
The workshop will be hosted by Chris Richards, a member of the Hastings and St Leonards Men’s Health and Wellbeing Project Steering Group. Chris is experienced in systems thinking approaches, is based in Hastings, and was a catalyst for the setting up of A Band of Brothers Hastings and Hastings Men's Network.
The workshop is face to face and interactive and will:
- introduce you to the Hastings and St Leonards Men's Health and Wellbeing Project,
- increase your understanding of systems thinking and why it is central to this project's work, and
- enable you to participate in system mapping around men's health and wellbeing in Hastings and St Leonards
- explore opportunities for you, and local men you know, to shape next steps.
Your valuable contributions will help shape the future of men's health and wellbeing in Hastings and St Leonards.
The Hastings and St Leonards Men's Health and Wellbeing Project is funded for three years by East Sussex County Council Public Health and is hosted by Hastings Voluntary Action.

Healthwatch East Sussex want to hear from local people about their experiences of health and care services in the area, and what could be done to improve things.
This April marks the 10th anniversary of Transition Town Hastings visioning day at the White Rock Hotel and the start of a veritable bouquet of actions, events and activities that have changed our town for the better over the past decade!
The most enduring has been the transformation of the area around Warrior Square station since 2015. From transforming a derelict and rubble-strewn hill into the stunning community garden on Platform 2, through the popular community notice-board, the biodiverse winding wildflower path and the awe-inspiring "Welcome to St Leonards' community mosaic, TTH members have contributed thousands of hours over ten years to improve our local neighbourhood for all who live and work here.
Next Tuesday, April 22nd, is Earth Day and we're celebrating the amazing achievement in the Warrior Square Station Garden.
You're invited to join TTH for refreshments at Platform 2, to share the spring beauty of the garden and catch up with old friends. We'll also be sowing wildflower seeds at The Space on St Johns Road, where Guerilla Joe has been hard at work clearing the sedge-choked, litter-strewn area to transform it into another beautiful new garden.
We look forward to celebrating 10 years of TTH and sharing a bit of spring sunshine with you!
Come learn how to sharpen your tools like a pro at our hands-on workshop! Join Transition Town Hastings as Learning to Grow 2025 kicks off with local horticulture expert, Sam Van Den Bogaerde, teaching us how to sharpen our loppers, spades and other garden tools.
As well as learning how to care for our tools, we’ll also be visiting an exciting new space that Hastings Borough Council has provided for Learning to Grow to use as a pop-up community “garden centre”.
Bring your own tools and gardening gloves. (If you don’t have either, just let us know when you book and we can provide.)
No experience necessary – we’ll be learning! Everyone welcome.
Free refreshments provided.
Places are limited, so booking is essential.
