Move. Push.
Prove it matters.
Matey Challenges are where words turn into action. This is where we take everything Matey stands for and push it into the real world.
Action creates conversation.
When people see something real, something difficult, something honest… it makes them stop, think, and feel. We believe that sometimes, you have to feel it to understand it.
"Physical challenges with purpose. Stories that show struggle, resilience, and connection. Moments that bring people together."
The number represents lives lost to suicide each week in the UK.
This challenge was built to make that number impossible to ignore.
Turning purpose into action.
The 126 Challenge
Dragging a 100kg boulder across a beach. Over 126 kilometres. Across 7 days. Storm conditions. Moments of doubt. Moments of strength. But the message mattered more.
Ultra White Collar Boxing
Taking part in Ultra White Collar Boxing was not just about stepping into a ring. It was about stepping into discomfort. Facing fear. Training. Pressure. Fight night. All of it became part of the story.
Three Peaks Challenge
In 2023, we took on the Three Peaks Challenge. Three mountains. One goal. A message bigger than the climb. This was one of the first real steps in turning Matey from an idea into something people could follow and believe in.
We believe action
creates conversation.
- Raise awareness
- Start conversations
- Show what resilience looks like
- Bring people together
- Remind people they are not alone
