Fatherhood Project was started because the CEO did not have a father and realised through his experiences in boarding school and observing other families that there was a significant void in his life. He recognized that young people without fathers or mothers face different challenges. Many boys are in prison, on drugs, or not excelling due to the lack of guidance from a parent. We aim to bring love and care to the younger generation, as they are the future. Mentoring will involve regular check-ups where mentors provide insights into opportunities and the right path. Boxing and football will help them step outside their current friendship groups and create new ones, as their norms and influences may differ. Having a coach as a male/female figure will teach them to take orders and encourage them to talk about their problems. When one has no experience living with both sexes they tend to be reserved or unable to gage a person.  We've also realised that many involved in gang life or exhibiting adolescent behaviour often came from single-parent households. It's crucial for everyone to recognize our ability to shape the lives of young individuals. Through our guidance, we can instil confidence in them to make sound decisions. Often, youths from single-parent homes may suppress memories of parental conflicts, and the delicate nature of these issues means that neither parent can fully clarify the situation. This can leave them feeling divided and pressured to take sides. The Fatherhood Project is here to offer support to any young person in need of a relatable confidant. Should a young person wish to join a sports club but face financial hurdles, we are here to provide the necessary funding. While our capacity to help is tied to our resources, our aim over the next one to three years is to extend financial aid to empower young individuals throughout the UK. Funds will cover essentials like uniforms, school supplies such as books and utilities , travel expenses for interviews, and temporary housing for those in crisis. We've realized that a lack of fundamental resources can push a child or teenager towards negative and unlawful behaviours to meet their basic needs and beyond. A significant number of youths are leaving university due to insufficient support and motivation. By addressing these challenges effectively, we can enhance the success rate of our young generation.​ In mentoring, we emphasize the concept of forgiveness for wrongdoings to liberate one from mental constraints. Many issues such as hate, resentment, and abandonment affect young people from these backgrounds. We believe that the focus should not be on assigning blame, but rather on forgiving and moving forward, transforming losses into lessons. Forgiveness may seem simple, yet it is a process. We don't want young people to feel unwanted, unimportant, or insignificant. It's crucial for them to understand that even without the presence of their mother or father, they are still valuable individuals who represent themselves. Every life experience, whether positive or negative, is part of their journey to success. Unfortunately there are many people that may not realise that their circumstances should shape them, not break them. So far, through our efforts, we have funded over 50 boxing sessions for individuals needing an outlet for their issues. We have helped just over 12 young people with mentoring free of charge and aim to assist 100 young people yearly. As well as providing Sunday football for the Local community to take part and socialise, lastly facilitating workshops regarding Mindset Transformation, Street Awareness. , we believe that thorough and professional support is essential to achieve the great results that the Fatherhood Project envisions. We meet young people all over London through various channels, including meetings, colleges, parents, outreach, promotional events, and more. We find out their goals and aspirations and determine whether our service would benefit them. We have spoken to over 1,000 parents since we started and have heard their pleas for the Fatherhood Project to support their children. Parents agree that there is a clear difference in performance between children from single-parent homes and those two-parent households. We are confident that we are needed and are doing important work. We are not saying all people from single parents household end up on a bad path, we are saying that coming from a single parent household can sometimes leave a gap in their life and impacts them dearly.
