What is this service?

We support boys in school years 5-8 (ages 9-12 years), who are struggling with an aspect of life and would benefit from developing a deeper relationship with a significant man from their family (dad, step-dad, uncle grandfather) through free activities such as camps, courses and other connect events.

MAN&BOY currently concentrates on supporting boys aged between 9 and 12 ( school years 5,6,7 & 8 ) as we believe that this transition from junior to secondary school is particularly important in a boy’s life and that a supportive, encouraging male role model can make a huge difference to their self-esteem.

A quote from a Man: We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves on the winter man & boy camp. It made us realise how life is so busy and that we do not spend enough quality time together enjoying one another’s company as Man&Boy. It has also made us aware we should make more effort at home to take time out to discuss things together. I would strongly recommend the camp to anyone lucky enough to have the opportunity to take part in future man & boy activity weekends away. I hope these comments will help keep man & boy such a successful and fun organisation

Good to know

What people say

From a Man: It helped me and my boy have more 1:1 time without us butting heads, we listened more to each other and just basically had more fun.
