Can you spare one hour to help other men?

The Fishermen’s Mission in North Shields are looking for men aged 50–74 to help understand why some men delay visiting their GP when something doesn’t feel right.

The discussion will cover:
• Awareness of the signs and symptoms of oesophageal cancer.
• Barriers to seeking medical help early.
• Ideas to improve community awareness and encourage earlier diagnosis.
No specialist knowledge is needed. We simply want to hear about your experiences and opinions. There are no right or wrong answers.

Whether you’re just getting started or want to build your confidence, John can help you make the most of today’s digital world.

Our next Empty Chairs get-together is on:

📅 Friday 28th August, 12.30–3.30pm
Café 32 at the Linskill Centre

Pull up a chair—everyone is welcome!

Facilitated by Darren (you’ll spot him in the orange top!), our friendly meet-up offers a safe and supportive space for anyone who would like to make new social connections.

If you’re looking for a little company, come along for an informal chat and a good cuppa. There’s no need to book—just turn up and join us.

For those that would benefit from a cuppa on us, simply speak to Darren. We want to ensure that cost is never a barrier to joining in and enjoying some friendly company. ☕
