NEW: Skyrocketing autism and ADHD diagnoses are driving up costs while children with severe needs in less affluent areas suffer.

We asked 1,000 GPs how we got here👇

We must reform child health benefits to better support severe cases, and redirect money to parental support.

👦When the CSJ launched Lost Boys in March 2025, we wanted to drive this crisis onto the national agenda. Boys falling behind in school. Men shut out of work. A generation without role models.

Tonight at 9pm on BBC 1, Sir Gareth Southgate's documentary, Changing the Game for Young Men, shows just how far that conversation has come.🗣️

We're proud to feature in it, and so grateful to Gareth for using his platform to drive attention towards Britain’s lost boys.

This crucial discussion must now turn urgently into real action.

The North East has the highest NEETs rate of anywhere in the country🇬🇧

If we give young people hope here, we can do it across Britain.

Yesterday, with @StephLunch and @Dallaglio8, we talked to over 60 employers taking on this crisis💬

All in partnership with @FenwickStores - one of the region’s biggest local employers🟢
