Plan International UK 'Test and Learn'

We are seeking expressions of interest from a range of organisations who wish to carry out direct engagement with boys and young men.

We know through our work in schools and with young people that both boys and girls are facing big challenges. We also know there is an epidemic of gender-based violence and misogyny throughout society.

During 2023-24 PlUK will be working with partners and allies in Wales with the aim of carrying out the following activities: raising awareness, getting the importance of early preventative work on the agenda and understanding the challenges those supporting young people (and young people themselves) feel they are facing. 

PIUK is seeking organisations to deliver interventions/activities with boys and young men that may help in reducing Violence against women domestic abuse sexual violence (VAWDASV), with up to £6000 available in funding.

c) Follow a clear, structured plan of activities

d) Be delivered by appropriately qualified and experienced staff
