The 55,000 ‘missing men’ each year

Every year, 55,000 young men in the UK are ‘missing’ from higher education. Boys are twice as likely to be excluded, struggle with mental health, and are four times more likely to die by suicide. By ages 11–14, 69% report exposure to online content that promotes misogyny or harmful gender views. Left unsupported, many risk growing up isolated, disengaged, and without direction.

What we do: 1:1 Mentoring in Schools
The Eden program provides consistent guidance, stability, and positive role models for priority students. We help boys stay in school, rebuild relationships, and develop confidence, purpose, and emotional intelligence, equipping them to thrive in education, at home, and in life.

Our Approach
Rooted in the belief that every young person has untapped potential, our mentors build personalised, authentic relationships to support young men in re-engaging with learning, making positive choices, and creating lives of direction, contribution, and hope.
