Special Episode - Inspired Men Club
Tue Dec 16 2025
n this special episode of Inspired Men Talk, Peter Ely sits down with host and founder Gary Johannes to introduce something brand new for 2026: The Inspired Men Club a weekly, judgement-free space where men can simply be, talk if they want to, connect if they choose to, or just sit with a proper cup of tea and a decent biscuit.
Supported by Peterborough United Foundation, the Armed Forces Covenant, and local community partners, this new initiative is designed to remove the barriers that stop men from seeking support no booking, no sign-in, no expectations, no pressure. Just a warm, friendly place where every man is welcome, whether you're 20 or 70, chatty or quiet, struggling or simply needing time out from the noise of life.
Gary shares the spark behind creating the club, why now is the right time, and how a series of small moments and a lot of kindness led to a movement that aims to make a real difference in Peterborough and beyond. You’ll also hear about biscuit diplomacy, community collaboration, and a vision for building a space men will rely on all year round.
If you, or someone you care about, could benefit from connection, company, or a calmer place to land, this episode is the perfect introduction.
The Inspired Men Club launches Monday 5th January, 7–8:30pm Unit 7F, Shrewsbury Avenue, Peterborough, PE2 7EY Come as you are. No pressure, no judgement — just a warm welcome.
