WHAT IT MEANS TO BE A MONGREL

"Being part of the Mongrels community reminds me to put mental health first and that its ok to talk about being a man"

"Over the past 5 years, the Mongrels football team has grown from strength to strength.  Yes, we've improved on the park, but its off the park where the growth really is.  We are all from different backgrounds, contexts and situations yet come together as close friends, always available to chat through hard stuff and connect as Mongrels.  Its an honour to be part of the Mongrel family"

"For me, Mongrels Men is all about spending time doing an activity we enjoy.  Plus it gives us the chance to just be blokes again.  Sometimes we even realise that we are not alone in the struggles we are facing, as others have tread that path before"

"The Mongrels beach jog is a way for me to not only start the day off in a healthy and positive way, but it provides me the opportunity to "get off my chest" any frustrations and concerns.  Tim has been an amazing sounding board, have provided sage advice and has always been there for me in good and dark times.  A true friend."

"The Mongrels winter and summer football teams mean the world to me.  We are a family of like minded, middle aged men from all walks of life.  Our time together on and off the field is extremely important for both our physical and mental health.  We have each other's back 100% of the time"
