Volunteer plea:
Please share if you have links to the Basildon / Billericay / Wickford area. We can’t help more boys without men stepping up - this is a great opportunity to invest in young men with absent fathers 🙏

Proud to announce a new early intervention service for boys transitioning from Primary to Secondary school in Sept. Piloting at #clactoncoastalacademy providing male role models, peer support and increasing emotional literacy. We are open to referrals now. @EssexVVU EssexPFCC 😊

Successful delivery of absent father awareness training today. So important that teachers and support staff are made aware of how boys growing up with absent fathers can be impacted - and how this can play out, and what can be done to support them. @EssexVVU EssexPFCC High Sheriff of Essex - David Hurst

Fab night James Webb with our Colchester lads last night, they loved wrestling and pitting themselves against each other. So important young men have an outlet for their testosterone and learn their strengths and limitations. Great sportsmanship shown too. @EssexVVU EssexPFCC
