Newcastle Advisors - Distinguished Gentlemen's Long Lunch
About
Last year, we launched the Newcastle Advisors Distinguished Gentlemen’s Long Lunch with a simple goal, to create a space where men could come together, share a meal, hear honest stories and have conversations that genuinely matter.More than 50 men attended from across Newcastle, Lake Macquarie, the Hunter and Sydney. Together, we raised more than $9,000 for charity, and most importantly, started conversations that continued long after the event finished.
This year, we are doing it again.
The 2026 Distinguished Gentlemen’s Long Lunch will support Talk2MeBro, an organisation working to reduce suicide to zero through practical mental health education, awareness and early intervention.
We are also incredibly proud to welcome Nathan Stapleton as our featured guest speaker. Nathan is a former NRL player whose life changed forever after a spinal cord injury left him a C2 ventilated quadriplegic. Nathan is a passionate advocate for men's health and mental wellbeing, as well as people living with disability. He speaks openly about the real challenges both physical and mental, that come with life-altering events. His story of resilience, identity, family and purpose is one that will stay with people long after the afternoon is over.
With 100% of funds raised going to event delivery and donation to Talk2mebro
