Beyond Equality is a UK-based charity that works with boys and men to advance gender justice and wellbeing. It creates space to challenge stereotypes, develop new perspectives for personal development, and build more equitable relationships and communities. Crucially, Beyond Equality meets men and boys where they live, learn, work, and play, from secondary schools and universities to workplaces and sports, creating spaces to reflect on the norms shaping their lives.
“Across the UK, the landscape surrounding boys and men has changed dramatically,” explains Beyond Equality Managing Director and Co-Founder, Dan Guinness. “From the rapid rise of digital algorithms pushing harmful online narratives, to evolving national strategies to tackle violence against women and girls, the need for positive gender-transformative spaces has never been more urgent.”
Support from the Caring Masculinity Fund has helped Beyond Equality strengthen its organisational foundations, enabling it to maintain high-quality work as it reaches more boys and men.
“With the support of the CMF, we have built a team of staff facilitators, allowing far greater exchange of insights within the organisation,” says Dan. “These ground-level insights do not stay in the classroom: they directly feed into national policy discussions, helping shape statutory frameworks across relationships education, youth work, and public health.”
These insights are particularly important as Beyond Equality responds to the growing influence of online misogyny, where harmful gender norms are increasingly shaped and amplified.
To this aim, the organisation has expanded its work beyond classroom workshops to counter harmful digital influences, including through public narrative campaigns that challenge the reach of the manosphere. Beyond Equality also works with parents and young people, equipping young men with the tools to navigate online spaces and parents with the language to help guide them away from harmful content.
As Beyond Equality grows, they have worked alongside organisations including the BBC, UN Women, Vodafone, and the End Violence Against Women coalition. They partnered with Equimundo on the landmark State of UK Men estudiar, providing a candid, evidence-based look at the emotional, economic, and cultural realities shaping the lives of men and boys across the UK today.
Core funding from the CMF has strengthened Beyond Equality, supporting them to continue doing what they do best, and making an impact. In 2025, Beyond Equality facilitated learning for over 12,500 people through their workshops, and worked with almost 200 partner organisations. On social media, they created over 1,190,900 impressions.
“We have seen thousands of men and boys step into this work with us, reflecting deeply on their roles and relationships, and taking action to create more equitable cultures,” says Dan. “We are proud to be part of a growing movement, and grateful to our staff, partners, collaborators and supporters who make this work possible.
