Next Payments Sponsors Spoke to a Bloke 2025

Next Payments is proud to once again sponsor Spoke to a Bloke, a charity focused on bringing light to men’s mental health issues and suicide prevention.

Spoke to a Bloke works to raise awareness and funds to support men’s mental health by hosting fundraising events that simultaneously empower meaningful conversations and dialogue around mental health. A significant fundraising event for Spoke to a Bloke is Walk for a Bloke, a 25km charity walk, formerly known as Nick’s walk in honour of the late Nick Dunn. The walk not only aims to raise money for the charity but also provides an opportunity for men to have meaningful conversations.

Starting off with just 4 participants in 2019, this year Walk for a Bloke had 2,590 walkers across 39 locations both within Australia and overseas. Not only was Next Payments proud to be a corporate sponsor again, but our very own Justin Carter (Business Development Manager) took place in the Adelaide walk and Scott Robertson (QLD Business Manager) participated in the Brisbane walk, showing their support for the cause. Check our Scotty’s pre-walk message to those involved!

This year the event raised over $400,000 which will go towards an array of projects, including continuing to spread awareness through mental health-based initiatives, as well as subsidising professional help for men in need of financial assistance.

Congratulations to the team at Spoke to a Bloke for the growth and success of the event and for continually championing such an important cause. It is a great reminder of the significance of a meaningful conversation and to continue to check in with those around us. Next is grateful to have been able to play a role in this event.
