As a mental health organisation, we are launching our Intergenerational Men’s Forum, led by and rooted in the lived experiences of Black men in Lewisham, focusing specifically on the Black male experience across generations while still welcoming our wider community members.
The forum will take place on Thursday 30th October, 2025, from 6pm to 10pm at the Bellingham leisure centre, a fully accessible space that supports inclusive participation.
The event will bring together Black men aged 16+, 25+, and 60+ to discuss their personal and collective experiences challenges, triumphs, and ongoing journeys. Storytelling and open dialogue will be central to the event, offering a safe, respectful space for reflection, listening, and learning.
What makes this event special is the intergenerational structure, which allows younger men to hear directly from elders and older men to understand the realities of the younger generation.
