Inspiring trips
Inspire supports older boys and young men to develop leadership, confidence and a stronger sense of purpose through positive relationships, shared experiences and opportunities for personal growth. Participants are exposed to inspiring role models, new experiences and meaningful conversations designed to broaden horizons, raise aspirations and encourage boys to recognise their own potential.
As boys progress through the Lads Need Dads pathway, Inspire empowers young people to strengthen relationships, build resilience and become positive influences within their communities.

Inspire aims
Inspire aims to help boys develop empathy, listening and leadership skills through peer mentor training and then practice these skills in guided peer mentor sessions. Inspire enables boys to maintain relationships with their peers and mentors and allows the boys to still access support should they require it.
Inspire is part of the Equip, Engage & Inspire programme:
Our 18-month long-term early intervention programme is comprised of our Equip, Engage and Inspire programmes. Designed for boys during the critical years of 11-15, it provides male-led group mentoring, bush-craft survival, life-skill training, community volunteering opportunities, peer mentor training, opportunities to meet inspiring men from the community and opportunities to visit inspiring places.
