The Foundation

Impact stories

The men.
The boys. The work.

Numbers matter — but only because they represent people. These are a few of them, in their words.

Rise · Leadership scholarship

"I couldn't have afforded the Leadership Academy on my own. Six months later I'm facilitating a Circle for young dads in my borough. The scholarship changed the trajectory of my life and the twelve men I meet with every week."
Marcus, 34 · Manchester

Grow · Youth mentoring

"My mentor Dave has been in my corner for a year. He was there when I got kicked off my football team and when I got back on it. I've never had a man show up for me like that."
Elijah, 15 · South London

Anchor · Emergency support

"When my marriage ended I had two kids, no deposit, and nowhere to go. The Foundation covered a month's rent while I got back on my feet. I still can't quite believe it — no one asked me to prove I was worthy."
Ade, 41 · Birmingham

Seed · Community grant

"£3,000 got us off my kitchen table and into a proper meeting room every Thursday. Twenty-two blokes off the trawlers now come regularly. Two of them credit the Circle with keeping them here."
Fishermen's Circle · Grimsby
