Application Information

 

How do I apply/refer? – The MAN&BOY programme runs throughout the year and therefore referrals for places can be made by providing the family with an information leaflet MB Information For Referrers and completing the online application on the website with their permission. 

 

Who can apply? – Anyone can apply by completing an application form, however, in most cases someone working with a family (teacher etc...) completes the application after discussion with them.

 

What are the criteria? – Boys who:

  • Are in school years 5, 6, 7 & 8 (although we will consider boys outside of this age range where appropriate)
  • Are struggling with life (E.G. boys struggling with behaviour, difficulty in making friendships, becoming withdrawn)
  • Would benefit from time spent with a significant adult male in their lives (dad, step-dad, granddad, uncle, older brother, family friend, etc) identified by the parent/guardian
  • NB. We are particularly keen to receive applications for families who may be disengaged with school or disadvantaged in some way
  • MAN&BOY accepts referrals for families living in Kingston-upon-Thames, Richmond, Sutton, Merton, Wandsworth, Hammersmith&Fulham, Croydon, Hounslow and the county of Surrey.

 

What does it cost?

Each family place costs upwards of £1000.00 if the family takes part in the whole programme including a camp, course and reunion events. MAN&BOY seek to cover as much of these costs as possible from grants, charitable donations and contributions from schools and other agencies.

 

All places are free for families, and therefore if you would like to refer a family we invite the referral agency to consider making a contribution of £100 towards the costs (not compulsory). We are also able to provide fully-funded places, where a contribution is not available from the referring agency.

 

 

We want to

  • Raise self-esteem in boys
  • Support and encourage men as role models
  • Empower boys to reach their full potential in school, work, and family, and to contribute positively in their local communities.

 

We value

  • Family and the role of the father
  • Acting honestly and with integrity
  • Taking personal responsibility
  • Believing in people
  • Enabling others to achieve their full potential
