Your generous donations go towards our charity partner Spoke to a Bloke.  Spoke to a Bloke is a charity focused on supporting blokes mental health. This is done through a series of community based events, including Walk for a Bloke and Challenge for a Bloke (including the Bally Dad's 12km Challenge).

Funds raised via these events are being used to fund two core Spoke to a Bloke Projects;

M.I.N.D.S – The MEN IN NEED OF DIGITAL SUPPORT project is an initiative to bring together a wide range of mental health experts, knowledgeable individuals and everyday blokes to create 24/7 help content aimed at supporting adult and younger men.

121 – The 121 project will deliver direct professional help for blokes that need financial assistance and reach those that need it most.

In addition to our projects, our events also serve as medicine.  We enable blokes to be active, to connect, to listen, to learn and to share in events to help build resilience through action.
