About the Big Tent movement
Our Vision
We envision a world where boys and men everywhere have the support they need to heal, grow and thrive…creating a safer, more just, and compassionate society.
Mission
The Big Tent is committed to uniting, supporting and elevating the leaders, practitioners, and professionals who are shaping the future of men’s work so boys and men everywhere have what they need to heal, grow, and thrive.
We bring this mission to life through our annual summits, our online community (the Collective), and our business-scaling Mastermind…where practitioners connect, collaborate, sharpen our craft, and expand our impact…together.
Our Values
- Integrity: We walk our talk. We tell the truth. We do what we say.
- Collaboration: We build together, not in silos. Shared wins over hyper-competition.
- Compassion: We lead with care, especially when things are messy.
- Growth: We stay teachable and open. Practice over perfection. Feedback is fuel.
- Belonging: People feel welcomed, seen and valued. Difference is met with respect and curiosity.
Play & Celebration: We bring aliveness. We mark wins. We remember to include joy.
Meet The Team Bringing Big Tent to the UK
The Big Tent Summit UK is shaped by a team with deep roots in men’s work and community building. Dave and Ceylon bring decades of experience through Band of Brothers and Football Without Boundaries — two of the UK’s most respected organisations working with men and boys. Matt Hocking brings his expertise in curating meaningful gatherings where real conversations happen. Alongside them, original founders Chris, George and Tim bring the learning and energy of two successful US summits to the UK for the first time. Together, they know how to create a space where leaders can be honest, challenged and changed.
