About us

A Community, built on Resilience

Roots of Resilience was founded in 2023 in Coventry. Today we run free and low-cost activities that help men, families and communities connect, get active and build the strength, habits and the mindsets needed to thrive.

From our founder

There comes a point when we need to stop pulling people out of the river, but go upstream and find out why they keep falling in. Roots of Resilience asks: How do we become more resilient in the face of life's challenges? Through mental health awareness, practical outdoor activities, small groups, and in-person courses based in Coventry, we explore the core pillars of resilience, helping individuals build the strength, habits, and mindset needed to thrive.
