We’re award-winning, and have been supported by some prestigious national funders, including the King’s Fund via their GSK Impact Award, Garfield Weston, and UK Youth’s Thriving Minds programme.

## **Introduction to Fumble**
Fumble is a multi-award-winning youth charity, leading the way in supporting young people with their mental health, sexual health and relationships in the digital age.
“ **An exciting, forward-thinking charity that puts young people at the heart of their ways of working”** Tamsin Watson, _Crisis_
Fumble exists to build a safer, more informed future for young people in the digital age through our core services:
Co-created Our website of Partnership work: Guidance for trusted digital content 300+ free, expertSuperdrug, adults who support campaigns reviewed articles LADbible & more! young people
As a nationally-recognised charity, we believe that all young people deserve quality, accurate education about sex, relationships, their bodies, their identities and their mental health. We understand that for many young people, the digital world is where they primarily seek and engage with this information and so, we aim to meet them where they are - in a safe and nonjudgemental way.
As young people's relationships with their devices has increasingly come under scrutiny, Fumble relates constructively to young people's contemporary digital lives, giving them safe, reliable information and guidance for this era.
5
## **Our values & safeguarding**
Our charitable objective is to advance the education of the public, particularly young people up to the age of 25, on RSHE (Relationships, Sex and Health Education). We do this through our trusted, quality, co-created digital content and our specialised programme of RSHE advocacy, training and consultancy.
All of Fumble’s activities are developed in line with our guiding values to be:
**Fumble’s safeguarding approach is foundational to its mission of enabling young people to live safe, happy, and healthy lives.** Every aspect of Fumble’s work is underpinned by an expert-led, evolving safeguarding framework: we provide responsive care for young people, while empowering them to co-create content and drive change in a safe and supportive environment.
While operating in a sensitive and increasingly politicised space, Fumble remains agile and expert-led in navigating risk. We maintain a formal risk register, build safeguarding into every project plan, and collaborate with partners such as NSPCC, Brook, and Sex Education Forum. This safeguards not only its young audiences, but also Fumble’s organisational resilience. Read more about Fumble’s safeguarding . approach here

## **Sex ed beyond the margins**
Fumble was born out of a recognition that boys are often dissatisfied with the sex education they receive in traditional settings (and seek it instead in nontraditional forums like online pornography) whilst the sex education girls receive is often disempowering in its tone, marginalising their agency and pleasure.
_“While Fumble is for everyone, it has inclusion at its heart ”_ **Mark Cusack @notdefining**
Within this context, Fumble aims to provide relatable and informative sex ed for **all young people** . We especially aim to meet the needs and experiences of young people that have been traditionally left out of mainstream provision of sex education, including:
**LGBTQIA+ young people Those living with disability**
**Those struggling with their mental health**
**Those from racialised communities (i.e. communities who have been categorised and ‘othered’ by white-majority systems based on their skin colour or other cultural or religious features).**
7
## **Who’s who?**
_Our CEO was formerly digital campaign lead at YoungMinds, and our Programme Manager brings 12+ years of youth work experience, including at national sexual health charity Brook. Our expertise enables us to deliver support that is empathetic, inclusive, and rooted in care._

We used Canva Whiteboard to share thoughts and have insightful, thought-provoking discussions about what young women face in the digital age.
**We welcomed 9 new YAB members!**
“People will start telling you off directly for being “abrasive” or “too much” - this is rarely an “us” issue and we are allowed to be assertive.” **YAB member**
The biggest theme to emerge was **gendered expectations around boundary-setting and people-pleasing** , including:
**Girls and young women have the right to be assertive!**
**Recognising the impact of peoplepleasing on energy levels.**
**18,000+ views 206 likes 10 saves**

Online reach in 2024-25

These monitoring systems drive enhancements to our programmes and . ensure that Fumble’s content and delivery meet young people’s needs
Digital programme delivery
Here are some highlights of our impact for this year.

## **Our impact**
“I spend a lot of my time stressing over issues that I can’t impact, it feels really positive to finally get to make a difference.”
“Being part of the committee helped me develop my confidence in talking to others, sharing my ideas, public speaking, and asking for help/setting professional boundaries and requesting reasonable accommodations for my time, emotional tether and ability”.
“It was really nice to work in an environment that was so intentional and well-intended, making it safe to take risks and try new things.”
## Young people engaged
We also track our impact across our co-creation projects with young people with benchmarking and follow up surveys, giving us powerful qualitative and quantitative data. Some examples include:
Our Youth Committee who co-created our 2024 digital content series shared:
✅ 100% agreed that “Being on Fumble’s committee has improved my self-confidence”.
✅ 100% agreed that “I have developed my knowledge about mental wellbeing as a result of being part of this committee”.
Our Youth Advisory Board shared in 2025:
✅ 77% agreed that “Being on Fumble’s YAB has improved my selfconfidence”.
✅ 78% agreed that “I have developed my knowledge about mental wellbeing as a result of being part of Fumble’s YAB”.
## Digital programme delivery
24
## **Our impact**
Our impact is more than broad educational reach, and it goes far beyond statutory provision: it is deep interventions that change real lives.
## Impact of our in-person delivery
Alongside our digital offering - we are considered sector-leading for digital participation and safeguarding - we are also strengthening our in-person offering for young people.
Our new physical base in **Sheffield’s Sharrow Community Forum** (we moved in 2025) embeds us in a diverse local community, allowing us to offer culturally sensitive, trauma-informed workshops to young people from marginalised backgrounds.
Following our recent pilot of our ‘Healthy relationships for women and girls’ programme in Sheffield, for example, we’ve already seen real lasting impact: a local caseworker told us one young woman who participated in our pilot felt empowered to leave a long-term coercive relationship after gaining the language and tools through our workshops.
_**“Very empowering approach—not telling the answers, but getting participants to come up with ideas... a real revelation for some clients who have been subjugated their whole lives.”**_
To evaluate impact outcomes from our face-to-face activities, we collect feedback via a form from participants after each session, which allows us to track changes in their confidence and knowledge.
It also feeds into our reflective practice, through which we continually improve and update our services, content and delivery to best meet young people’s needs - especially important in a fast-evolving digital age.

## **Our impact**
A sneak peek of this exciting work:
## Developing our impact measurement practice
We use the socio-emotional skills development framework offered by the YMCA George Williams College, which is considered best practice for impact measurement in our sector.
While we’ve made a great start capturing our impact over our first five years building a track record, we’re a young organisation and we recognise we need to further develop robust impact measurement practice.
Impact measurement ahead
This is a strategic priority for us in our future plans.
26
## **Preparing for 25-26**
Major national LADbible campaign
## Develop our impact measurement
Website redesign
Our website is the **beating heart of Fumble** . It’s served us well for our start-up phase, and now we have big plans to improve the user experience for young people and our supporters. We will create **a new, fit-for-purpose website** .
We’re partnering on **a major, national LADbible campaign** : Getting honest about porn! With **Movember** and **Pivotal Recovery** , we’re meeting young people’s call for more support and honest conversation about porn.
Using the recommended framework from **YMCA George Williams College** , we are levelling up our impact measurement to show the change Fumble makes to young people’s lives, health and happiness.
Sexual health Q&As campaign
## Youth pulse check
As part of developing our PR and media reach, we will launch our **annual survey and report** : gathering stats on the important sex and relationships issues that young people face today.
We will be launching our **powerful, co-created video series and campaign on sexual health Q&As** between young people and doctors!
27
**What’s next? Our longer term strategy** PR and media: reach Our pilot programme for young women & girls
Our 4 strategic pillars!
We will continue to strengthen our work towards our strategic pillars:
Alongside **Celia Venables** , who led the meteoric rise of **Pregnant then Screwed** ’s public profile, we will develop and expand Fumble’s PR profile. We plan to dramatically increase Fumble’s visibility. To date, with only reactive PR, we have secured coverage on BBC, Times Radio, The Independent, Vice, and more. Time to go up a gear and **make Fumble a household name!**
We will expand our successful pilot programme for young women and girls aged 16-25, on mental health and healthy relationships in the digital age _“Very empowering approach. It was so encouraging to see some clients educating others. Lucy created a safe space - you should definitely run it again!”_ **The Snowdop Project**
