WHY WE'RE HERE
Destroying Loneliness, Together
Join us and find endless opportunities to socialise in your area. We host our events all across Sydney.
Men's mental health is often overlooked – Mates That Matter is dedicated to changing that for those who slip through the cracks.
Working as a support worker with men who were similar to me, with the same hobbies and interests, I quickly realised my job wasn’t to support these men but to be their friend.
If I was ever to leave this job, many of these men would lose their best friend. I realised it made more sense for these men to be making friends with each other, and thus Mates That Matter was born.
