What People have to Say

Baroness Kramer, formerly the Member of Parliament for Richmond Park from 2005 to 2010, offered her support to the project.

 

"...Man and Boy is a small project with a big impact.  The project’s work to strengthen the bonds between boys and their Dad or another male role model in the family must offer youngsters the best path to a successful adulthood.  I have been so impressed by the positive testimony of both youngsters and adults who have taken part in their events..."

The boy’s confidence has increased significantly, and there is clear evidence of a successful bonding experience with his Dad. He is now more comfortable expressing his feelings and feels stronger when facing new challenges. The camp was a unique and invaluable experience.

He talked about the camp for months; it became a treasured memory during a challenging but important period of transition.

This experience has been incredible for him and has strengthened our family dynamic. It has helped him feel more secure in his relationships with both of us. Additionally, as separated parents, we had the opportunity to openly discuss concerns at the camp, which improved our communication and understanding. Thank you for making such a difference." "Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

It helped me have more 1 & 1 time without us butting heads, we listened more to each other and just basically had more fun.

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 father and son. 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.

My husband and son enjoyed MAN&BOY very much, they had great time and my son came back with a lot of difference in him - in good way by the way! I wish there were more things like this for children and adults to build their relationship ... Many thanks for all you have done for our family.

The child thoroughly enjoyed this opportunity to spend time, one to one with his step-dad. He is also much calmer and more responsible at school.
