Magazine Feature!

🌱 We’re in the Local Council Magazine! 🌱
Celebrating our men’s mental health groups and the power of community connection

We’re incredibly proud to share that Obsessive Recessive Roots CIC has been featured in our local council magazine this month! Seeing our men’s mental health groups highlighted in print feels like a huge milestone — not just for us as a CIC, but for every single person who has stepped through our gates, shared their story, joined a session, or supported our mission.

Our groups were created to offer something different: a safe, grounded, nature-rich space where men can come together, talk openly, learn new skills, and feel connected without pressure or judgement. To have this work recognised by the council is a massive boost and a sign that community-led, nature-based support really is making a difference.

Being featured means our story reaches even more people who might benefit from what we do — men who may be struggling quietly, families looking for support, or individuals who simply want to connect through the outdoors, animals, and meaningful activity. It also opens the door to new partnerships, collaborations, and opportunities to grow our impact across Chesterfield and beyond.

We’re excited for what this visibility brings. More awareness means more conversations, more support, and more people finding a place where they feel seen, valued, and connected.

A huge thank you to everyone who has been part of our journey so far — our volunteers, participants, supporters, and the wider community who champion our work. This is just the beginning, and we can’t wait to welcome even more people into the ROOTS family.

🌿 Together, we grow. 🌿
