FAQ
WHY IS THE WALK JUST FOR BLOKES?
It also serves as medicine, enabling blokes to be active, to connect, listen, learn and to share in the walk and building resilience through action. We recognise wives, girlfriends, sisters, mothers and mates play an important role in blokes lives and welcome the women in your life to join as a supporter (see ticketing option) or a volunteer (contact bec@spoketoabloke.org).
WHERE DOES THE MONEY GO?
We started Spoke to a Bloke after losing our brother and best mate to suicide. As a team, we work on the charity weekends and after hours, we are passionate about making a real impact. 100% of funds raised goes directly to running the charity, our events and projects to support blokes mental health.
For more information on where the money goes visit our projects.
