LADS aims to provide a proactive approach to tackling social issues, mental
health & wellbeing alongside practical interventions for men and boys of all
ages. The LADS project is a long-term initiative for West Yorkshire, set up with
Men and Boys at its heart with a focus on ethnic minority communities including
faith communities, marginalised communities, intersectionality, socially and
economically disadvantaged communities. Our focus is on Intervention and
prevention. The project is a co-production and co-design model of service
delivery. LADS aims to work in partnership and have a coordinated approach to
service design. We will build on these partnerships and collaborate to ensure
the services we provide continually meets our clients’ needs. We will develop
Prevention and Intervention programs that fit with the communities we serve. We
will do this by involving the community through our member’s groups alongside
community cohesion work. We aim to work with and alongside mens groups and
women’s groups to end VAWG and VAM&B’s, ensuring we support men from diverse
Muslim communities and ethnic minority backgrounds to ensure the wider vision of
ending VAM&B and VAWG is reachable.
