Project Embrace

We are thrilled to introduce Project Embrace, a vital initiative aimed at empowering young men and breaking the cycle of antisocial behaviour. Funded by the Million Hours Fund, Project Embrace focuses on providing structured, engaging activities for youth in Birmingham and Dudley.

Our weekly youth activities take place every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 6 pm to 8:30 pm at Stumps Sports Centre. These sessions are designed to offer a safe and supportive environment where young men can develop new skills, build self-esteem, and form positive relationships.

Activities range from sports and fitness sessions to creative workshops and educational seminars, all facilitated by our team of experienced professionals, including sports coaches, teachers, and counsellors.

Donations – We Rely On Your Support, To Support others

Your support can make a world of difference. At Menkind, we rely on the generosity of our community to continue providing essential services. Whether it's a one-time donation or a regular contribution, every penny helps us to support those in need. Your donations will help us run our workshops, support mental health initiatives, and provide a safe space for men and young boys to discuss their issues.

We are proud to announce that we have secured funding from The Awards for All Program and the Million Hours Fund, which will help us set up our base at the local community centre and cover running costs for the next two years. However, we still need your help to expand our services and reach more people in need.
