THE MOMENTUM STORY
Created To Bring Men Together
MoMENtum was created to give men a relaxed and welcoming place to connect outside of their usual routines. Whether you're looking for new friendships, a reason to get out more or simply a place where you can be yourself, MoMENtum offers a practical way to get involved.
Founded by therapist and mental health advocate Alan Stokes, MoMENtum was created in response to a simple need: more opportunities for men to connect, build friendships and feel part of something positive.
MoMENtum is not therapy. It is a community.
A place to meet people, try new things, have honest conversations and build genuine connections.
WHY MOMENTUM EXISTS
Because Connection Matters
Many men find it difficult to make new friends, stay socially connected or know where to start when life becomes challenging. MoMENtum creates a simple, low-pressure way to meet others and become part of a supportive local community.
Through regular events, activities and social meetups, we make it easier for men to get out, connect and take positive steps forward.
OUR MISSION
Connection. Action. Belonging.
MoMENtum exists to make it easier for men aged 30+ in Plymouth and surrounding areas to connect, build friendships and feel part of something positive.
Whether you're confident or quiet, outgoing or reserved, thriving or going through a difficult time, you are welcome here. You don't need to fit a certain mould or have a particular reason for joining — just come as you are.
Through social meetups, activities and shared experiences, we encourage men to take small steps, try something new, build resilience and create genuine connections.
