Please donate and support the Trustees and Supporters of MAN&BOY. I have taken on a personal challenge to raise much needed funds by participating in a 'tough' trekking challenge organised by Charity Challenge.

Story

On Saturday 26 April 2025 I will 'Trek into Battle’ a marathon distance 42km (26 miles) walking challenge from Hampton Court to Millennium Bridge on behalf of MAN&BOY.

MAN&BOY have been championing positive male role models and supporting boys, men and their families for over a decade. The national debate is catching up - Sir Gareth Southgate talking about boys needing role models, the groundbreaking TV Drama Adolescence and the Centre for Social Justice’s new report ‘Lost Boys’ are making waves. The 26th April trekking event is aligned to the ‘Ride into Battle’ cycle event, as we make MAN&BOY’s voice heard in the national debate on the unique challenges that boys face and offer them life changing support in the battle ahead.

As charities are increasingly starved of funds, we will join together to raise money and ‘Ride into Battle’ to create a brighter future for boys and their families. Your donation can make all the difference - £50 will pay for a man and boy to attend an activity day, £150 will pay for a 3 session climb and connect course and £1,500 will support a family for a full 12-month period across our programmes. We really can't do it without you!

Here at MAN&BOY we believe when positive role models are actively present; children, families, and communities thrive. We work alongside families, schools, and other referral organisations to support boys aged between 8 and 12 by providing opportunities for men and boys to have fun and take part in adventurous activities. Whether it's through camps, courses, or community events, we strive to create environments where trust and confidence can flourish.

Together, we can make a meaningful impact that lasts a lifetime.
