I can’t quite believe it… I’m a Finalist for both the #SheInspires Awards (Agent of Change) and the #EVAs (Not-for-Profit)! 💥 Grateful, humbled, and slightly in shock. Here’s to championing boys, fatherhood & early intervention. 💙 Men & Boys Coalition The Centre for Social Justice BBC Essex



This week our Year 7 and 8 boys explored healthy relationships, red flags, and what to look for in a good friend or partner. They also learned how self-worth shapes behaviour and practiced empathy by affirming one another. Powerful, honest and needed. The Centre for Social Justice Men & Boys Coalition

Wow… more than 85% of Virginian kids living with a mom and dad at home will earn mostly A’s and B’s, regardless of their race. Grades drop drastically in father-absent homes. Fathers are so important! Brad Wilcox


A proud night as 3 of our ambassadors received Jack Petchey Awards! Robbie (16), Albie (18) & Harley (18), mentored by Pete & Matt and the team since age 11. We’ve walked with them into manhood. ☺️#LadsNeedDads The Centre for Social Justice Men & Boys Coalition


A month today I begin my Churchill Fellowship journey, heading to South Africa and the US to explore powerful solutions for boys growing up without fathers.
