How Football is Saving Boys, with Jack Reynolds
| 50 minutes
In an age of social media and ‘toxic influencers’, are too many boys growing up without positive role models? Jack Reynolds shares the journey of Football Beyond Borders, showing how football can support children at risk of school exclusion and violence. He explains how, through setting up the Lost Boys Taskforce, the sense of belonging and relationships forged on the football pitch have inspired a new goal: giving every young person access to a trusted adult outside their family home.
