Healthy Men, Healthy Masculinities Healthy Communities
Congratulations to The Men’s Table who received a $15,000 grant for their project Georges River - Healthy Men, Healthy Masculinities, Healthy Communities as part of Council’s Community Grants program.
The Men’s Table helps men build meaningful male friendships and connection by creating safe places to share and listen. It all began in 2011 with twelve men, who are still meeting monthly for dinner and a drink to this day. A decade on, the organisation has established tables throughout the country, and set Georges River in their sights.
Securing a Community Grant to help with the set-up costs, The Men’s Table got to work reaching out to our local community. Following an information session at Club Central Hurstville in May 2022 (a so-named Entree Event, to stay on the shared table theme), enough men were keen to sign up that Georges River now has its first Table, MT62. The men have been meeting monthly since June.
What’s next for The Men’s Table in Georges River? The organisation is hoping to build more tables in the area. If you would like to learn more about joining a table in the Georges River area, visit themenstable.org
This project was funded by a Reconnecting Communities Grant as part of Georges River Council’s Community Grants program.
