Including Men

Stronger families, healthier men, resilient communities

Roger Olley

What We Do

The Including Men mission is to build resilience into the relationships men have with their families and communities, so that men stay heathy and connected, and so that families and communities benefit from the valuable resource that is our 'family men'

We facilitate change in local authority children’s services, in education and in health settings. We build capacity across localities to meet statutory obligations, build on strengths and address barriers that might exclude men.

Our team has extensive experience of working with a variety of statutory and voluntary services to undertake:

Inclusion audits and evaluation of agencies and organisations
Development of male inclusion strategies and workforce development plans
Development of whole team whole system approaches to inclusion
Evaluation and reporting for OFSTED and other agencies
Service design, campaigns and digital innovation
