Tough Mudder London West 2021 · 17 July 2021 to 18 July 2021 ·

Beyond Equality began as schools and universities projects, both of which used interactive conversations and exercises with young men and boys to give them the chance to think about who they would like to be and to discover how they could help to create safer and equitable communities. We are now also sparking those conversations in workplaces, sports teams and communities across the UK and beyond. Our mission is to engage men and boys in a way that enables them to rethink some of the social norms they have been taught about themselves so that they can aim towards a society that practises true gender equality, encourages respectful and positive relationships and prevents gender-based violence. Our workshops are led by trained facilitators who are able to lead and guide conversations on many of subjects that people find it difficult to discuss: sex and relationships, mental health, consent, violence, language and personal agency. Consistently, participants report that this is the first time many of them have realised the impact of their behaviour in their community, opened up about their own difficulties, learnt about those of their peers, and discovered ways to help be part of solving the problems. Outside of the workshops, we provide spaces and training for our community so that they can do deep explorative work on their values, masculinity, gender justice and structures of oppression; equipping them with a framework of allyship that they can apply to their

Story

Will and Theo are friends from university and are doing Tough Mudder on the 17th of July. Tough Mudder is a gruelling 10 mile run complete with obstacle courses. 

They are taking this as an opportunity to raise some money for The Good Lad Initiative (Beyond Equality). This charity hosts talks with young men about perceptions of masculinity and how these have the potential to be empowering, but also damaging to themselves and others. The Good Lad initiative talks to young men at schools and universities with the hope of challenging preexisting ideas of masculinity, ending gender based violence and promoting gender equality.  

In light of recent events this seems like a good, topical choice of charity and all donations large or small will be greatly appreciated.
