Voice of the Boys – reception and coverage

The reception for our Voice of the Boys report, which brings the thoughts and feelings of over 1,000 secondary school boys front and centre has been incredible.

From the intimate event we held in Parliament, to the over 1,500 downloads and the press coverage (linked below), we’ve brought boys’ views to you. It’s sparked conversation and curiosity, and we hope you’ve taken steps to support boys in your local community.
