For men, to serve everyone
Men who take care and responsibility for themselves, can take care and responsibility for others.
Our Values
The backbone of our community
These are the values we aim to embody through the organisation, our community, in our circles, and in life.
01
Radical Responsibility
We own our actions and our impact. We act with integrity, hold ourselves accountable, and take care of others.
02
Support & Challenge
We create spaces where men can be real. We back and challenge each other to grow.
03
Frank Honesty
We find and tell the truth with courage. No masks or performance: just authentic, direct communication and expression.
04
Mutual Respect
We meet each other with dignity and openness. We are present, listen deeply and value difference.
05
In Service
We take care of ourselves and other men so that we can all better show up and contribute to our loved ones and the world.
Our Story
The story so far
2020
The King's Table Begins
A small group of men in London started meeting to talk honestly about their lives. No agenda, no facilitation. Just the willingness to show up and be real. Steve Savides and Pasco Ashton were among the first.
Late 2020
Growing Online
Pasco was brought in to lead the online circle and begin developing the project into something more structured. An early team — including Clive Selwyn — began shaping the vision.
2021
Men's Circle is Born
Men's Circle registered as an official UK organisation. This stage involved research, testing, and development — translating what was working in circles into a repeatable model.
2022
Training Facilitators
We began training facilitators, led by experienced men's work leader Lee Stagles. The methodology was refined through cohort feedback and real-world circle data.
2024
Scientific Recognition
Our impact data was cited in peer-reviewed research. The evidence base for structured men's peer circles continued to grow.
2025
Featured in the Press
The Guardian, Forbes, Men's Health, and Scientific American all covered the work.
