The Space is a free 8-week wellbeing programme for men, every Monday from 19 October at Project Colt in Elland
You're invited to The Space




What is The Space?
Eight weeks. A small group of men. A couple of hours each week to step away from the noise and look at some of the things we can all get caught up in: stress, overthinking, anxiety, pressure, the stories we tell ourselves.
The Space isn't about giving you techniques or telling you how to think. It's somewhere to slow things down, get curious, and notice things you might not have seen before.
No judgement. No labels. No pressure.
What The Space is
- An 8-week, non-clinical wellbeing programme for men
- A small group, no more than 10
- A chance to slow down, listen, talk if you want to, and look at things differently
- Somewhere curiosity matters more than having the answers
What The Space isn't
- Therapy or counselling, or a crisis service
- Somewhere you're diagnosed, assessed, or told what's wrong with you
- A programme where you're forced to share personal things
- Eight weeks of being told what to think, feel or believe

What to expect during a session
Nothing complicated. You can talk. You can listen. You can ask questions. Or you can just have a brew and take it all in. Nobody's put on the spot, and you don't need to arrive with a story ready.
The Space is about creating room for insight, moments where you see something for yourself that you hadn't quite seen before. Nobody can tell you what that insight should be. That's the point. It's yours.
What we ask of you
Mostly, just that you come as you are, but there are some things to keep in mind:
- Treat the other men in the room with respect
- Keep what others share private
- Join in as much or as little as feels right for you
- Commit to the full eight weeks if you can

Who The Space is for
Maybe life's been feeling a bit heavy lately. Maybe you're stressed, overwhelmed, anxious, isolated, stuck in your head, or just fed up of overthinking everything.
Or maybe you're simply curious. Curious about yourself, how we experience life, and whether there might be another way of seeing things.
You don't need a diagnosis. You don't need to have everything figured out. And you definitely don't need to wait until life gets really difficult.
Wherever you're at, The Space starts from a simple place: there's nothing about you that needs fixing.
The Space is for men aged 18+ in Calderdale. If you're curious about whether life could feel a little lighter, you're welcome to request a place.

Your eight weeks
There isn't a big syllabus to work through, or a list of things you need to remember. Across the eight weeks, we'll get curious together about some of the things that can make being human feel complicated, like:
- Why we get so caught up in our heads
- Why some thoughts have such a hold on us
- Why trying hard to feel better can sometimes make things worse
And we'll look the other way too; what if there's more resilience in you than you realise? What if feeling lost doesn't mean you are?
You don't need to understand any of that before you come. That's what The Space is for.
What you might take from it
That'll probably be different for everyone, and that's kind of the point. You might notice when you're getting caught up in your own head a little sooner. You might see stress differently. Or one conversation might simply land in a way that stays with you.
Every Monday, 19 October to 7 December, 6pm to 8pm.


“You don't need to have all the answers. Sometimes you just need the space to see”


Meet your host
I'm Dan, a wellbeing coach and founder of Lost & Found Wellbeing CIC.
For more than a decade, I've worked alongside people in care, wellbeing, mentoring and support settings. A huge part of that time has been spent having conversations with people who are struggling, stuck, searching for answers, or simply trying to make a bit more sense of life.
My own life and my work as a coach have made me increasingly curious about what it is that people are really looking for.
We all want to feel okay, to enjoy our lives, to have some peace in our own heads. Yet we can spend so much time trying to get there: fixing ourselves, battling with our thinking, trying to work everything out.
Over time, I've become fascinated by seeing more clearly that what we're searching for isn't as far away as it sometimes feels. That curiosity is a big part of why I created Lost & Found and The Space.
I'm not here to tell people how to live, or give them another version of themselves to work towards. As a coach, I'm much more interested in creating the space for people to get curious, have their own insights, and see something for themselves.
Because maybe we're not as lost as we think we are.

Questions you might have
Do I have to speak?
No. You can talk, listen, ask questions, or just have a brew and take it all in. Nobody's put on the spot, and you can join in as much or as little as feels right for you, no pressure.
Is it therapy?
No. The Space is a non-clinical wellbeing programme, not therapy or counselling. Nobody will diagnose you, assess you or tell you what's wrong with you.
It isn't a crisis service either. If you need urgent support, you can call Samaritans free, any time, on 116 123.
What kind of programme is this?

There's no syllabus to work through, and nobody telling you how to think.
Who is it for?

What if I miss a week?
We ask that you come to all eight weeks if you can. If something comes up, just let Dan know.
Do I need to bring anything?
Just yourself. There's nothing to prepare, and you don't need to arrive with a story ready.
Is what I say kept private?
Everyone in the group is asked to keep what others share private. You only share what you want to, and you'll never be made to share anything personal.
