Fumble

Relationships and Sex Education ends at 16. Young people’s questions about sex, consent and relationships don’t. Fumble is proud to support Killed Women (KW) and Make It Mandatory in launching The Unofficial Curriculum: a mock textbook showing what young people learn when there’s no real education to turn to. Porn. Influencers. The manosphere. Algorithms as the teacher. Hundreds of thousands of 16 to 18 year olds in further education aren’t guaranteed lessons on consent, coercive control or the signs of abuse. That has to change. On 4th December, MPs debate the Relationships and Sex Education (Further Education Sector) Bill. Take 2 minutes to email your MP and ask them to back it: https://lnkd.in/epqvZng6 #MakeItMandatory #BackTheBill

This week is National Coming Out Day and, to celebrate, we’re flashing back to our trans+ content series: ‘Am I trans+?: Translating sex, identity, and relationships’ 🏳️⚧️ Starting from a survey with over 300 trans+ and non-binary young people, this project was co-created with a committee of young trans+ people - writing about their own experiences for other trans+ people to have the education they never got. We couldn’t be prouder of our youth committee, pictured here in one of their first meets! As well as our content series, young trans+ people also co-created our masterclass: ‘Supporting Trans+ Youth’, a digital download for trusted adults to better support trans+ people. Check it out here: https://lnkd.in/ens2g2Se  In a world where trans+ young people are erased and spoken over, we’re grateful to have their input on our trans+ content. (P.S. want to support our work?

You might know where to find it but do you know what it’s made up of? 👀 It’s okay if you don’t! The clitoris isn’t spoken about much… or ever 🫠 But that’s why we’re here!  We think it’s important for all young people to know their body - and older people too. This beautiful new diagram is just one example of the work we do at Fumble to empower everyone to feel confident about their body. Fumble is an award-winning youth charity in the UK, leading the way in supporting young people with their mental health, sexual health and relationships in the digital age. Everything we do is created with young people, for young people Consider supporting our mission: https://lnkd.in/ei5nq3Wd

We're delighted to receive grant funding from The Charles and Elsie Sykes Trust to support our fantastic Youth Advisory Board 🎉 Our YAB is a group of young people who advise and shape our services through their lived experience. They are central to our work and mission - we couldn't exist without them! A huge thank you to The Charles and Elsie Sykes Trust for helping us continue to empower the next generation, improve wellbeing and reduce harm. By investing in the skills, confidence and leadership of young people, you're supporting them to create positive change in their communities.

The online world isn’t going away, even with bans being put in place. That’s why we’re proud to be part of Brook’s 2026 Sexual Health Week theme ‘Let’s Connect’, all about connection in the digital world. At Fumble, we meet young people where they're at. And where they're at is online. (Don’t get us started on the defunding of youth clubs and physical spaces for young people, how young people were encouraged to be online throughout the pandemic, and how the majority of us have a merging online/offline life now–this isn’t a “young person thing”!) Fumble creates content based on what young people need. Dating apps are a reality for many young people, and they deserve support related to using them. We want young people to know that their number of matches doesn't define them, they don't have to do or send anything that they’re uncomfortable with, and that it's ok to come off dating apps completely (or never be on them in the first place). Our newest post about dating app tips was a suggestion from a content workshop with our Youth Advisory Board. This screenshot comes from our Youth Advisory Board WhatsApp channel, giving us their top tips for other young people using the apps. Check out all their tips here: https://lnkd.in/eqVKgqgx

Keeping young people safe is vital to us. This World Suicide Prevention Day, we want to talk about how we do that. At Fumble, we have a robust safeguarding strategy, reviewed by leads in the sector and young people themselves. We make it as easy as possible for young people to reach out to us. Whether it’s about supporting a young volunteer through a hard time, or helping them refer to further support (such as Shout UK), we help young people every step of the way. It has never been more important to empower young people to check in with themselves and reach out when things feel overwhelming. So much of their lives are lived online that it can feel like there’s no off‑switch or escape from online pressures. Young people deserve inclusive, non‑judgemental spaces where they can feel heard and supported. Their voices shape everything we do at Fumble, and we’re proud to champion them every single day ❤️
