A Band of Brothers Summer Fun Day 🌞

Throughout history, indigenous cultures understood the value of providing a marked and meaningful Rite of Passage experience to steward youngsters into healthy adulthood. In modern society, this tradition has been lost and in turn, we have seen a rise in young men lacking purpose, connection and mentorship which can lead them to becoming involved in the criminal justice system. 

ABandOfBrothers is a grassroots, social action solution to the problem of young male disaffection. We connect, inspire and train local male volunteers to provide men aged 18-25, involved with or on the brink of the criminal justice system, the opportunity to mature and become valued and contributing members of society.

We offer mentoring for young men in our communities within the context of a five-month contemporary & intensive rite of passage journey. 

1.    We provide a supportive, safe & connected space to allow new ways of being to develop, increasing emotional literacy by encouraging the expression and processing of emotion.

2.    We work to create awareness on the impact of one’s actions & develop personal accountability & integrity.

3.    We challenge young men to understand & develop their narrative, particularly the areas that are not working for them.

4.    Our community initiative led by local male volunteers presents accessible support without the stigma attached to therapy.

5.    By establishing enduring groups of trained male mentors into the fabric of a community, the young men have access to life-long support that reaches beyond our structured programmes.

As part of our ongoing commitment to A Band of Brothers we are welcoming any and all members of our local community to come and connect with us and experience some of the magic of a shared space, in a wonderful location.

Exploring and hearing about what we get up to and allowing some of the men to share their experiences of working with our charity. There will be fun things for the kids to do and the grown ups can get to experience a sense of some of the inner work we do as a charity all in the comfort of people who care.

What's in it for you - food and a community of like minded people. Whilst maybe taking some time out for yourself. What better way to spend a Sunday than with community. 

Grab your FREE ticket as places are limited and we need to know quantities for food.
