Round Table was originally created for individuals who identify as male between the ages of 18 and 45.

John said: "Through connection, friendship, helping others, working in the community and being part of something bigger, everything is a whole lot better.

"It is in friendship, connection, laughter and understanding and working to help others we build better lives and communities.

“Without exception, the individual members with whom I spoke were extremely clear about the fundamental and significant impact that being part of the table had had on their lives. That they are part of a 24/7 community in the real world and digitally via WhatsApp groups, Facebook etc.”
