A big thank you to Chilypep for coming to our Fruitbowl youth groups earlier this month and talking to us about mental health and coping strategies. We had lots of fun and made some mess creating glitter jars to help with our stress!

#BlueUmbrellaDay ☂️
By challenging existing taboos and harmful social norms around sexual violence and ‘being a man’, we can encourage more boys to speak up for themselves and how they’re affected.
Our BRV project aims to do exactly this, all year round↓

☂️Today is #BlueUmbrellaDay . Chilypep joins this global campaign, which aims to tackle the issue of sexual violence affecting boys, and to improve support and services for boys who have been affected.
