Man Cave

What we do

Man Cave provides a safe, supportive space where young men can build confidence, develop life skills and explore topics that matter to them. Through a mix of activities, shared meals and open discussions, participants are encouraged to express themselves, support one another and have positive conversations about wellbeing, relationships and masculinity.

The programme is delivered in two age-specific groups to ensure activities and discussions are appropriate for different stages of development: Junior Man Cave for males aged 8–12 and Senior Man Cave for young men aged 14–19 (up to 25 for young people with SEND). While both programmes share the same core aims, each is tailored to the needs, experiences and interests of its age group.

Senior Man Cave

A part of the RPT Youth Club, Senior Man Cave supports young men aged 14–19 with self-expression. Providing a safe environment packed with activities, at the end of every session the group come together to prepare, cook and eat as a group. Over the meal, the young men are encouraged to open up about their wellbeing, raise relationship concerns and address masculinity.
