The Fatherhood Project CIC operates a permanent community hub in Luton, delivering trauma-informed mentoring and emotional regulation for 60+ young men (14–25) facing school exclusion or violence. Backed by deep community trust and robust data tracking, we want to partner with a university or NHS Trust to co-produce evidence-based research. We offer unparalleled fieldwork access and lived-experience insights to co-apply for joint health, social care, or community engagement funding.
