The Chai & Chat Network - Listening Exercise

Do Muslim men have somewhere safe to share their everyday challenges without being judged?

Sound familiar?

Busy breadwinners - always working, rarely resting.

Under pressure - to carry our families, community, and responsibilities, whether that expectation is real or imagined.

Disconnected - from ourselves, from our faith, and from the joy of brotherhood.

Silently struggling - with marriage, parenting, identity, or stress, without a space to talk openly.

The truth is, most of us don’t.

The Chai & Chat Network aims to change that.

Why this event

This pilot gathering in Bradford is about listening first.

This is your space - a place to be honest, share what’s really on your mind, and say the things we usually keep bottled up.

We want to hear from you:

• What challenges you’re facing as a Muslim man today
• What kind of space you wish existed for men like you right now
• What support, conversations, and brotherhood would make a difference in your life

By attending, you’re not just joining a one-off event. You’re helping shape the future of a network designed by and for Muslim men.

• Guided small-group discussions to share your thoughts and challenges
• Open space to voice your opinions, ideas, and suggestions
• A chance to connect with like-minded brothers in a relaxed, welcoming environment

This is not about performance. It’s about being real, being heard, and helping build something together.

Who Is This For?

• Open to all Muslim men (18+) in Bradford and the surrounding areas
• Brothers juggling family, work, and community pressures
• Men who feel they don’t often get the chance to talk about their struggles openly
• Anyone curious about shaping a new kind of men’s network - rooted in faith, brotherhood, and wellbeing

Why Attend?

Because your voice matters.

The Chai & Chat Network is being built for men like you, but it can only succeed if it listens to you first.

This pilot is your chance to:

• Finally speak openly without judgement
• Be part of a brotherhood where you don’t have to perform
• Influence the direction of this new initiative
• Connect with others who truly “get it”
• Be part of something from the very beginning

I’m looking forward to meeting you all, insha’Allah.
