Every 8 minutes matters.
“Got 8 M8?” is a simple reminder to check in with your mates. A message, a call, a quick “you good?” can make more difference than you think.
Start the conversation.

COME ALONG & join the banter
BANTER BENCH | M8s CHECK-IN
M8s Check-In is a simple way to stay connected in a world where it’s easy to drift. It’s a regular catch-up where blokes can show up, have a yarn and spend time around others who get it. There’s no pressure to open up or say the right thing, you can talk, listen or just be there.
Built around real conversations and genuine support, it creates a space where checking in becomes normal, not awkward. Over time, those small chats help build stronger connections, better awareness and the confidence to speak up when it matters. It’s not a program or a lecture, just a good crew, a consistent time and a place where you’re not doing life on your own.
Turn up. That’s enough.
BANTER M8s 4X4 WEEKEND
A proper weekend away with the boys. Tracks, campfires, a few laughs and a chance to reset. Banter M8s 4x4 Weekend isn’t about who’s the best driver, it’s about getting off the grid, having a crack and backing each other along the way.
Whether you’re new to 4x4 or been doing it for years, you’ll learn a few things, meet a solid crew and be part of something that actually matters, supporting men’s mental health through Beyond The Banter.

LEARN & SUPPORT
MENTAL HEALTH FIRST AID (MHFA) - Delivered by PHSA
Mental Health First Aid gives you the skills and confidence to support a mate when it matters most. It’s not about being an expert, it’s about knowing how to recognise the signs, start a conversation and guide someone toward the right support.
Delivered in a practical, no-nonsense way, these sessions are built for real life. You’ll learn how to handle tough conversations, respond in a crisis and back your mates without overthinking it.
Whether it’s for your workplace, your team or your own circle, this is about making sure more blokes know what to say and what to do, so no one gets left to deal with it on their own.
