Lost Boys
The Lost Boys Project emerged from those on the charity frontlines in Britain. Everywhere the Centre for Social Justice travelled, the message was the same: something is going on with our boys.
Our Lost Boys: State of the Nation Report revealed a crisis facing boys and young men in Britain. Its publication sent shockwaves throughout the UK, punctuated by the release of Netflix series Adolescence. Click on the report to learn more.

In March 2025, we launched the Lost Boys: State of the Nation Report in Westminster with former England Captain Lawrence Dallaglio and Greater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham. Watch the event below.
The Lost Boys Project has since gained recognition from Sir Gareth Southgate, Stephen Bartlett and many others. We have also talked to young men from CSJ Alliance charities across England. Scroll through the carousel below to hear directly from them.
How we wrote Lost Boys
To inform the State of the Nation Report, the Lost Boys Team:
- Made 30 Visits

Shortly, the CSJ will hit the road for their third annual ‘Big Listen’ series. Travelling across the country, our Lost Boys team will be asking frontlines voices for their solutions to the crisis facing boys and young men.
