Answered by Jake Richards
The Prime Minister committed to holding a National Summit on Men and Boys in 2026 to bring together key sector partners and Government, to raise awareness and develop plans to tackle issues facing Men and Boys. He asked the Deputy Prime Minister to lead this work.
By convening Departments and partners under the Deputy Prime Minister’s leadership, we can ensure a joined-up approach that delivers meaningful, measurable impact.
On Tuesday 9 June, the Deputy Prime Minister attended a panel event at LADbible. This forms part of his programme of regional engagement and will be an opportunity for him to listen to a large group of influential voices and content creators and continue to set out men and boys as an HMG priority and why it matters.
A wider series of public facing events is being planned over the coming months, including regional roundtables with the men and boys’ sector and advocates, and meetings with stakeholders to discuss topics such as media literacy and masculinity; social connection and loneliness, and fatherhood to inform the National Summit later in 2026. The exact dates, locations, and topics of these events have not yet been confirmed.
