What About The Boys 2026 Conference

A one-day conference for youth workers, educators and professionals exploring challenges facing boys and young men, launching the Fylde Coast Boys Impact Hub.

Now in its eighth year, this conference brings together youth workers, teachers, police officers, academics, health professionals, researchers and young men to move from discussion to action on outcomes for boys and young men. Delegates will help co-design the Fylde Coast Boys Impact Hub, a shared space for developing and evaluating approaches to supporting boys, coordinated by Wyre Youth and Community Alliance CIC. The programme includes keynote speakers, interactive workshops, action learning sets and collaborative design sessions, underpinned by the ten Taking Boys Seriously principles covering relationships, masculine identities, mental health and learning.
