Stronger friendships.Start with us.
Be part of the movement to strengthen male friendship. Bring your mates, your workplace or your community into the conversation.
This movement runs on people.
You don't need a budget. You need one mate, this week.Pick the one that fits.
Ask someone properly this week
Ask about something that matters to him and give him time to answer. You don't need perfect words - just a genuine interest in how he's doing.
Share the quiz with your mates
The fastest way this grows is the most ordinary one. Share the quiz with two mates who'd get it and compare scores.
Back it as an employer
Help colleagues build stronger connections, not just talk about work. We help workplaces launch RealMates internally and join the campaign publicly. Get in touch →
Connect in person.
People move, friends couple up and old groups scatter. Making mates as an adult is hard, and nobody talks about it. The Great Friendship Project creates relaxed, in-person ways for people in their 20s and 30s to meet and build real friendships. Come on your own. Most people do.
You don't have to handle it alone.
If you or a mate are struggling, these services are free and confidential. You can also call them to talk through how to support someone else.
