Over recent months, we’ve seen more men joining us through regular Walk & Talks, social sessions and activity-based meetups. As demand continues to grow, we’re working to strengthen what’s already in place while creating more ways for men to connect, build confidence and support their wellbeing and our new (bilingual) website will help us do this.
Our team have been working hard in the background for many months with consultants, volunteers and our chosen IT partner, Design Tribe, and we are super-pleased with the result. We hope you are too!
Take a look around – and share the site with your friends, family and any blokes in your network that you think will benefit from our services.

Here are some of the featured highlights of our site –
Events & Activities – All our events and activities are listed – you’ll see what we’re doing, where we’re going, when we’re doing it and a host of other useful information on what you need to bring to make it a stress free experience for you. Check out our new 1-5 Walk Grading Scale; we have embedded links to our OS Map routes and a neat feature where you’ll be able to upload your photos from the day directly into a Google photo album.
Become a Marauder – Our mission is to bring men together to share life experiences and build friendships. We are therefore encouraging all Marauders, new and old, to tell us a little bit about their backgrounds. By sharing your hobbies/interests, what you do/did do at work, what are your life goals etc… etc… we can introduce you to men within the Marauder network who have similar backgrounds and goals.
We’ve been promising it for ages and we’ve finally cracked it! By registering some personal details in our ‘Become a Marauder’ section, you’ll get your very own digital ID/QR code emailed to you which makes our on-the-day registration paper free and more streamlined. You’ll be able to store your personal QR code on your phone and just show it to the event leader on the day – job done!
Donate – We have teamed up with Just Giving and created a great platform for us to become more sustainable over the long term. We’ll be using this platform to fundraise, attract sponsorship, encourage legacy donations and to crowdfund for future initiatives.
Volunteer – Our charity can only survive with more volunteering support and so we have created a dedicated space for you to find out all about our volunteering vacancies and what you can expect in return for helping us out. Remember that ‘Giving Back’ is great for your wellbeing so please step up and help out when and where you can.
Community Partners – We surprised ourselves with how well we’ve done over the last few years on developing key relationships with so many other like-minded organisations. Whether you’re looking for wellbeing services, other men’s health groups across South Wales, want to find out more about our charity credentials or discover some tangible benefits that you and your familes can enjoy; you’ll find them here.
News & Stories – We’ll keep you updated with news stories, volunteering roles, health & wellbeing features and Marauder testimonials/stories. If you have you’re own story to tell, you’ll be able to get in touch and we’ll get it published.
Privacy Policy & GDPR – Rest assured that any data that you supply will be fully protected and kept safe within the legal guidelines and you can opt out of communications and get your data deleted at any time. Full peace of mind, guaranteed.
In addition to these features, you can ‘Meet the Team‘ and find out more about the people who run the charity, you can sign up to receive our monthly ‘Newsletter‘, use our ‘Contact‘ form to provide us with feedback, testimonials and walk suggestions
A big thank you to everyone involved in this project – the Trustees for approving the investment, our IT specialists – Sankalp, Paul & Marc at Cwmpas and Tom at DesignTribe – and to our Marauders – Greg, Rob, Ron, Trefor & Cristie.
Well done to us all!
