why we do what we do:
the problem:
-
Australia is one of the world's healthiest societies, yet our men and boys die younger; experience more disease and have less access to support services
-
7 men suicide everyday in Australia (of the 9 suicides per day)
-
situational distress is the major link in male suicide (eg loss of job, separation/ divorce, financial struggles)
-
social isolation (loneliness) is worse than obesity and is as bad for your health as smoking 16 cigarettes a day
-
1.1 million Aussie men have no close friends (outside of their immediate family), males reach peak loneliness at 35


our solution:
• strong social connections keep men happy and healthy
-
better quality if life
-
more satisfied life
-
50% increased longevity
-
strengthens immune system
• maintaining male friendships can improve males life expectancy by 22%
• having 3 close mates is one of the best things men can do for their health and well-being
how we do it:
our events:
-
we run laid back events for men to connect, hang out and be themselves
-
there isn't much structure or formalities to our events
-
we stand around, mingle, chat have a laugh, have a good time
-
we definitely don't take ourselves too seriously
-
we create a vibe that is fun and relaxed
-
some examples of our events: coffee catch up, bacon and egg bbq breaky, burger nights

our goal:
100 grassroots locations across australia.
more mateship, more often.
making positive change to men's health and well-being
