About the day

About Igniting a response to The Lost Boys crisis

Across our society, a silent crisis is unfolding. Too many young men and boys are growing up disconnected, fatherless, overlooked, and vulnerable to violence, addiction, and despair.

This is the Lost Boy’s crisis.  

Informed by the Centre for Social Justice’s Lost Boys report, which lays clear how boys are falling behind across education, employment, family, crime, health, and sex/technology — we’ll confront the hard truths and work toward real solutions specifically through a Northern Irish lens. 

Igniting a Response to the Lost Boy’s Crisis is a gathering for leaders in every sector, employers, educators, politicians, churches, organisations, and individuals who refuse to stand by and do nothing. Together, we will face the realities, hear powerful stories, and shape a practical response that can bring hope and transformation to this generation.

This is more than an event – it’s a call to action.

What to expect

  • Insightful talks and Q&A from leaders on the frontlines including

  • Stories of change and hope

  • Practical ways to get involved and make a difference

  • Space to connect with others who are passionate about solutions

Who Should Attend?

  • Community leaders

  • Church leaders & pastors

  • Youth workers & educators

  • Policymakers & influencers

  • Anyone with a heart to see boys thrive instead of being lost
