Groups in St Helens
Men's Songwriting Group
Our weekly song-writing groups in St Helens and Newton-Le-Willows are a safe, supportive space for men who are feeling isolated or struggling with their mental health. We know how powerful creativity can be — and through music, we help men express themselves, build friendships, and rediscover hope.
-
Designed to support men at risk of suicide or experiencing emotional distress
-
No musical experience needed — it's fine to come, sit with us and watch
-
Weekly sessions that foster connection, confidence, and community
Whether you're writing your first song or just want to be part of something meaningful, this group offers a place to be heard, understood, and uplifted.
Groups run every week at the following venues:
Crownway Community Centre, Crown Street, Newton-Le-Willows, WA12 9DA
5 til 6:30
Chain Lane Community Centre, Hinckley Road, St Helens, WA11 9HT
7 til 8:30
Our groups are for the benefit of men, not at the exclusion of women, so if you have a partner, carer or friend who you want to bring along that's encouraged.
"The Songwriting group has become such an important part of my life. I was diagnosed with PTSD after life saving open heart surgery and no medication or therapy worked even half as well as being part of this fantastic group"
