Care in the Community – Redefining Masculinity in Boys
The Scottish Masonic Charitable Foundation of Western Australia (SMCF) is proud to support organisations making a real difference in our communities - one such organisation being Man Up WA. Through mentoring, education, and practical support, Man Up WA is helping young men across Western Australia build resilience, confidence, respect, and emotional strength, while tackling issues such as isolation, poor mental health, and the lack of positive role models in their community.
SMCF is initially supporting the Man Up WA workshops in Geraldton and the Mid-West region of WA, where boys and young men often have limited access to preventative education and support services. By delivering small-group, peer-led workshops in schools and community settings, Man Up WA creates safe and relatable environments where important conversations around mental health, masculinity and respectful relationships can genuinely take place. This approach is targeted to create safer, healthier, and more connected communities for future generations.
