📍 Hosted by The Foundry CIC @ Genr8 Smithfield Works

In an era where workplace wellbeing, diversity, and inclusion are more important than ever, one crucial element remains overlooked: the need for purpose-driven spaces for men within organisations.

Join us for an evening of powerful conversation and practical insight as The Foundry CIC brings together business leaders, HR professionals, and organisational change-makers to explore why creating dedicated spaces for men is not only necessary—but transformative for the entire workplace.

Drawing on over a decade of work with men and young men across education, corporate, and community settings, this event will unpack how well-designed men's spaces:

  • Encourage emotional intelligence, resilience, and healthier communication
  • Reduce presenteeism, absenteeism, and burnout
  • Improve team dynamics and workplace culture

Expect facilitated discussion, and strategic takeaways to help your business embed a culture of positive masculinity—one that uplifts not just men, but everyone.

A glass of fizz will be offered on arrival, with snacks available throughout the evening.

This event is ideal for HR directors, SME leaders, wellbeing officers, and anyone committed to cultivating a more inclusive, supportive, and high-performing workplace.
