About this service
The Proper Blokes Club (TPBC) started in September 2020 with a simple Facebook page. It showed videos of me walking around my favourite local spots, talking about the issues I’ve had in the past and seeing if any local lads could resonate with how I was feeling, hopefully get something out of it. It reminded me that I was not alone in this struggle.
After a couple of months and a break in lockdown, we were allowed to meet in groups. So I decided to put the word out on the local Facebook groups to see if anyone would like to join me on a walk and talk. One lad turned up and it’s grown weekly since. At this point we currently have three locations, which are in Southwark, Greenwich and Wallington and we are still growing.
We meet outside St Mary’s Church and take a stroll through the beautiful Beddington Park in South London. The River Wandle runs through the park and there is also a large lake. The walk is all flat and is accessible to all.
