Chapter 2

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

Working with the church, as a charity, we aim to provide a male mentor and a community of men for boys growing-up without a father.

A big thank you to The Atrium Health Club who raised an amazing £1250 for Chapter2 at their Family Fun Day this summer.

Chapter2 offers long-term, 1-to-1, activity-based mentoring for fatherless boys. We believe every boy deserves a good man to guide him and by building trusting relationships our mentors are able to be a role positive model.

We are so grateful for organisations in our community who support our mentoring programmes.

That's a wrap on this very hot summer of 2026.

The mentees stayed cool with a kayaking group activity at Dinton Pastures 💦 .

The mentors chilled at Siren Craft Brewery 🍻 .

The team said goodbye to Pete 😢.

This autumn there will be more activities, another training and maybe even a new member of the team. Watch this space.

Bittersweet saying goodbye to Pete today who has been with Chapter2 for over 5 years.

We will be sad to see him go but excited for him as he embarks on a new role.

Wishing you all the best, Pete. And don't be a stranger.

Building a trusting relationship is at the core of our mentoring programme. Our mentors do this by being consistent, accepting and empathetic. We don't expect quick results but know over the long term this will have a positive impact for a fatherless boy.

The NCP recently shared some key findings about funding for boys and men. "2% of organisations explicitly focus on boys and young men."

Founder of Chapter2, Dr Rich Kay, addresses one of the questions we are often asked about why Chapter2 solely focuses on mentoring boys and young men.
