Men With Pens is a series of creative writing and letter writing workshops for men living with mental health conditions. 

Working with groups in Perth and Edinburgh. Each participant will be paired anonymously with a participant from the other group.  The men will be encouraged to write letters, creating pen pals, to discuss their mental health. 

We will also work together, using reading and creative writing as a tool for maintaining well-being. 

The workshops will be led by Ross MacKay, an award-winning writer with lived experience of his own mental health conditions. 

First Saturday of the month on these dates:

3^rd May 10am – 12pm

7^th June 10am – 12pm
