Menslink official charity partner for Big Boys Toys Expo (Aug 22-23)

July 8, 2015

Menslink is very proud to be appointed as official charity partner for the Big Boys Toys Expo, coming to Canberra August 22-23 at EPIC.

The Big Boys Toys (BBT) Expo is the first of its kind on the east coast of Australia. This two-day highly interactive Expo will create the ultimate playground for Canberra and the region’s ‘big boys’ to see, touch, experience, and buy all the toys, tools, gizmos, gadgets, outdoor equipment, sports and hobbies they’ve always dreamed of. The Expo will feature the latest products and experiences from a great range of local, national and international brands.

Charles Bishop from Big Boys Toys Expo describes their decision to support Menslink as follows:

BBT chose Menslink as their official charity partner due to their local focus on working with different generations of men to strengthen our local community.

  • Local: BBT is all about local – the majority of our exhibitors are sourced from the Canberra or surrounding region.
  • Men: BBT provides an opportunity for males to have experiences that can be shared across generations
  • Strengthening Community: BBT wants to build an experience that will strengthen the local Canberra region.

These shared values are the foundations on which we built BBT and therefore we believe Menslink are a charity we can closely align with.

At Menslink, we believe the Expo allows young men and their dads, mums or significant adult role models (including mentors) to explore a range of activities that will help them forge closer relationships. Men bond through shared activities and something like BBT that assists our young men engage in activities with responsible adults in their lives can only help our community as a whole.

We encourage anyone in Canberra – young and old alike – to come along to the Expo and enjoy themselves while also helping to support Menslink.
