Chapter 2
At Chapter2, we believe passionately that every boy should have a good man to guide him into adulthood.

If you spoke to many of the mums of our Chapter2 boys they would echo similiar sentiments from this post: "I’m incredibly proud of the compassionate, confident, and thoughtful young man my son has become. I’d love to believe I did it on my own, but the truth is, it took a village. Coaches. Teachers. Family. Friends. Mentors."

Chapter2 mums are strong, resilient and caring women, but they too recognised their son may need something they can not provide. This is the gap Chapter2 mentors over many years of building trust try to fill.

Dr Rich Kay, Founder of Chapter2, asks is the solution to the fatherless crisis beyond what government, think-tanks and the charity sector can achieve?

Dr Rich Kay, Founder of Chapter2, has been digging into this fascinating book by Joe Blake. Much of what Joe shares is about his journey of faith. But beyond that Joe, is doing something incredibly valuable through what he shares......he is modelling vulnerability and demonstrating the importance of being deeply connected with others. This is exactly what our men of tomorrow need to see.
Joe is also a big supporter of Chapter2 and we are one of his charity partners. Thank you Joe!
Just 3 days to go to support Joe and his book.

The Chapter2 Team enjoyed a great morning with Jonny Matthew. Jonny is a social worker and criminologist working to promote recovery for troubled children and teenagers. He also co-developed and leads training on the Trauma Recovery Model (TRM). TRM combines theories of child development, attachment and neuroscience with hands on practitioner skills.
Thank you Jonny Matthew for sharing your insight and years of experience.

This weekend saw Great Britain's Josh Kerr break the world record for the mile. This record stood for 27 years. Like many achievements of this calibre, a lot of dedication, perseverance and sacrifice sits behind it.
The same can be said about mentoring. To build a strong and trusting relationship mentors sacrifice time they could be doing other things, dedicate their energy to spending time with their lad and often have to persevere when life throws up challenges in their lives or in the lives of their mentee.
Do you have what it takes to run this race?

Chapter2 has a small but dedicated team who are passionate about matching good men with boys in need of a positive male role model. We come from a range of backgrounds including the charity, faith, business, education and government sectors, but we all have one goal in common: to bring hope into the fatherless story.
Meet Christina, Director of Mentoring and Designated Safeguarding Lead, who shares what she loves most about working for Chapter2.
