It really was a lovely send off for Roxie. Moments like that reinforce the mission!
Just wrapped up a site visit with Glencar
Proper solid day. Met a lot of the lads and the energy was bang on. What stood out most was how open people were to talking, although it took a min to get the point across, it was well received…. Some may say maybe even more than the pizzas! That openness is exactly what this space is about. No pretending. No masking. Just real conversations and a willingness to look at things differently. We are here to lift each other up, hold each other accountable, and get comfortable being uncomfortable. Growth does not come from staying where it feels safe. Nothing changes if nothing changes.
Reasons to stay
Hey lovely’s 💚 I come across this website, and I thought it would be a great tool to help you get through the days when things feel a bit too heavy. And if in crisis, please talk to someone (eg. Samaritans 116 123 or even 999) Lots of love everyone You deserve all the happiness in this world 🥰https://www.reasonstostay.co.uk/

Love this such a great post, thank you Shannon
Welcome to the SPEAK community.
This space exists for honest conversations about pressure, purpose, and mental health, without pretending everything’s fine. You don’t need to have the right words here. You don’t need to perform. Just show up as you are. If you’re comfortable, introduce yourself in the comments: • Where you’re based • What’s been heavy lately • What you’d like to get from this community Read more than you post if that’s what you need right now. Support others when you can. Take what helps, leave what doesn’t. This only works if we keep it real and respectful. I’m glad you’re here. Alfie Founder, SPEAK

@Leanne James Thanks Leanne, really appreciate it, hopfully we can catch up on the zoom sessions we will be having throughout the weeks.
It’s all happening!
It feels genuinely powerful to finally kick this off. Two years ago, this started as a movement in Portsmouth my home town, Small group fit sessions. Honest conversations. People showing up when they didn’t really know how to say what they were feeling, but knew they couldn’t keep carrying it alone. Since then, we’ve listened. We’ve learned. And we’ve seen where the pressure really sits. That’s why today, our focus sharpens on the construction industry. An industry built on graft, pride, resilience and far too often, silence. But this platform isn’t just for construction. It’s for anyone who wants to support others, support themselves, and do life in a more natural, grounded, holistic way. This community is built on a few non-negotiables: • Accountability over excuses • No judgement. Ever. • Natural approaches to mental, physical and emotional wellbeing • Showing up for yourself and for others • Progress, not perfection You don’t need to have it all figured out to be here. You don’t need the right words. You just need to be willing to show up honestly. This is a space to learn, to talk, to move, to reset, and to rebuild. A place where strength isn’t pretending you’re fine, it’s being real enough to say when you’re not. We’re glad you’re here. Get involved. Introduce yourself. Join a session. Ask a question. Support someone else. This only works if we build it together. See Welcome to SPEAK.
