The people who set TalkHub up and keep it running.

Founder & Director, TalkHub C.I.C.

Jay

I set up TalkHub in February 2020 as a men's walk and talk group to give guys a space where they could feel comfortable to talk with other like-minded men. Since then, TalkHub has helped men through my two main passions, football and boxing, with our football sessions on Fridays and boxing sessions at Optimal Boxing every Wednesday evening.

Having lived with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder since I was a child, I also try to raise awareness about the disorder, as there is a massive misconception around it.

Outside of TalkHub, I love going to watch my football team Everton home and away every week, spending time with my family, running and going to the boxing gym.

Tony Grimes

Tony has been a director since 2020, when we first set up as a C.I.C., and is also a director of Cheshire Wellness and Fitness C.I.C., who help both men and women in Warrington and surrounding areas.

He has been a great supporter of TalkHub from the start and has shared his story of living with Trigeminal Neuralgia shocks and how he leads a mindful life.

Aidan

Aidan has been involved with TalkHub since 2024, starting off by coming down to film some content at our sessions. He made a massive difference by making quality videos and photos that really helped us to reach out to more men in our local community and beyond.

In July 2025, Aidan became a director for TalkHub and has helped behind the scenes with a lot of admin work and building this website!

As well as helping out with TalkHub, Aidan also runs two businesses, AJA Visions and ReelHaus.
