"Voicebox has an extraordinary way of communicating with the teenagers in the room; they are dynamic, approachable and professional. Their assembly on Healthy Masculinity was a refreshing antidote to our times. Rather than simply attacking 'toxic' masculinity, their scenario-based work gave the children food for thought and enabled them, as a cohort, to thoughtfully rebuild a model of masculinity that was purposeful and life-giving." Teacher, King Edward's School
"The students were fully engaged throughout the session, and I could see their enthusiasm and understanding grow as the discussion progressed. The facilitators' ability to connect with them and encourage meaningful dialogue was truly impressive." Teacher, The Helix Education Centre
"The discussions were thought-provoking and provided valuable insights that I believe will contribute positively to our educational environment. It was enlightening to be able to witness the discussions on Healthy Masculinity and gain insight into the perspectives of our students." Teacher, Lewisham College
"The workshop went above and beyond my expectations and was extremely beneficial for our nominated pupils. It was a concise and easily accessible entry for pupils to engage with hard-to-talk-about subjects. The pupils were encouraged to lead their own discussions and were motivated to develop their answers with confidence and clarity." Teacher, Finchley Catholic School
"The way in which Voicebox skilfully moved from fun warm ups into in-depth discussion was very impressive. All of the students felt confident in contributing and sharing their thoughts and ideas." Teacher, The Compton School
"Voicebox were respectful and inclusive and let us talk about are opinions without feeling scared that you’re going to say something wrong." Student, Upper Sixth Wellington College
"The workshop was amazing, fun and really interesting, it helped me to reflect on my own views of what it means to be a man." Student, The BRIT School
