" A great way to connect with people, feel part of a group and share your thoughts in a safe, caring space."

 "Mongrels has been a godsend for me. Relationship difficulties made me realise that I had a lack of social connection and support. Mongrels filled that and then some! Our weekly catch ups are the highlight of my week."

 "Regularly attending the Mongrels Meet Ups has changed my life. I now have access to a support and social network of men who are always there when I need them. It’s also dramatically improved my mental and physical wellbeing too."

 "This supportive community, free of judgment, became my safe space. Talking openly chipped away at my walls, boosted my confidence. I started reaching out, offering the same support I received – a ripple effect of hope.    Mongrels Men didn't just improve my mental health; they empowered me. It's more than a charity; it's a reminder that vulnerability isn't weakness, but strength in disguise."

 "To have the connection with so many people I now call great friends is something I am very lucky to have. Mongrels Men provides a great opportunity to increase connection, chat and community."

"Mongrels Men gives me a day and time to set aside for my own mental and physical well being. I know there is someone there who will ask ‘are you OK?’ And check in with you." 

 "Mongrels Men has been life changing for me. I was struggling with depression and disconnecting from society, I had cut myself off from a lot of friends and family and found I was hiding from my responsibilities. Mongrels Men helped me find connections with other guys who I could relate to, and I  found that I shared my inner thoughts with them while walking and running along the beach, and also over a coffee. I now have a great bunch of mates who are not just there for me but I also feel that I am a big part in their lives too. Mongrels is now like my other family and I look forward to catching up as much as I can."
