We all want to live longer, healthier lives and together, we can make it happen. Yet every day in New Zealand, 8 families lose a father, partner or grandparent to an illness that could have been prevented. Maori and Pasifika men live shorter lives than other New Zealanders. Nearly one in four Kiwi men won't make it to retirement age. That's a quarter of us.

That's why we created the Blokes Book for Hawke’s Bay with our first edition back in 2020.We believe the Blokes Book is a positive step in supporting local families and communities through Men's health and well being. Hawkes Bay Mens Health Since then we have circulated close to 20,000 free copies across our region, into our community through workplaces, sport clubs and libraries. But it's more than just a book.We have created from scratch a whole new Blokes Book, full of ways to live your best life, tips and information as well as local services here to help you.Local information for local people, we hope this resource helps you or someone you know on their wellbeing journey.
