Young people are growing up in an information environment transformed by social media, influencers, algorithms and artificial intelligence. Established sources of information now compete with an ever-growing number of online voices, while misinformation can be deliberately created and spread at extraordinary speed.

But what happens online doesn't stay online. It can shape identity and belonging, fuel division and polarisation, influence relationships and behaviour, and affect young people's mental health, wellbeing and safety.

Who Do We Trust? brings together journalism and fact-checking, education and safeguarding, and frontline experience of working with young people for a major public conversation at Norwich Cathedral.

Featuring:
👉 Chris Morris, Chief Executive of Full Fact, the UK’s largest independent fact-checking organisation and member of the Commission into Countering Online Conspiracies in schools.

👉 Nicky Fairweather, Principal Deputy Head at Norwich School. She leads on safeguarding culture, belonging and inclusion, pupil voice and leadership, and a curriculum that builds critical thinking.

👉 Cody Sollows, MensCraft’s Youth Programme lead.

"My life has changed drastically when I compare it to two years ago - it's like chalk and cheese. I now interact socially and volunteer. I have made lots of new friends. There is actually something to do nearly every day with MensCraft. Although not yet fully recovered, I have made a lot of progress and I’m much more confident than I was."

Adam started coming to Pit Stops after an acute mental health crisis. Having somewhere to go with friendly faces a few times a week got him into a healthy routine. He got better to the point of wanting to give something back, so become a very capable volunteer. When a paid opportunity for a Pit Stop Coordinator role came up this summer, Adam was a shoe-in for it.

Adam's is just one of many stories like this. If you or a man you know could do with some friendly, non-judgemental support, come along to your local Pit Stop. Times and locations on our website: https://menscraft.org.uk/find-us/our-locations-2/

Last week, MensCraft hosted its first Fatherhood Conference online. 70 attendees tuned in to hear research insights, examples of positive practice and the experiences of fathers themselves as we asked: 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝘄𝗲 𝗲𝗻𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗳𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘀𝗲𝗲𝗻, 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗱 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗹𝘂𝗱𝗲𝗱 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗶𝗰𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁 𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗿𝗲𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗳𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗲𝘀?

We were proud to open the session with a new video which speaks to the value of the work we do and the bravery of the men who step into the space, ready and willing to do the work to become happier and healthier - for themselves and those around them.

Eternal gratitude to Max Leveridge at Narna media for his work on this, and to all those who gave their time and energy on the day.

👉 Feeling stressed, isolated or lonely
👉 Going through changes at home, work or in relationships
👉 Looking for connection without pressure
👉 Not sure what they need, but know they don’t want to handle things alone

Everyone is welcome and you can participate at your own pace.

Young people are growing up with unprecedented access to information, ideas and communities. Social media, online platforms and artificial intelligence offer extraordinary opportunities to learn, connect, create and participate in the world around them.

But navigating that world is becoming increasingly complex. Established sources of information compete with influencers and online communities; misinformation can be deliberately created and spread; algorithms can reinforce particular views; and the same spaces that provide connection and belonging can also contribute to division, pressure and harm.

Who Do We Trust? is a major public conversation at Norwich Cathedral featuring Chris Morris from Full Fact, Nicky Fairweather from Norwich Schooland Cody Sollows from MensCraft. Together, they will explore how young people are navigating this changing landscape and how they decide who and what to trust, how the online world shapes identity and belonging, and what it means for their relationships, mental health and wellbeing.

Bringing together journalism and fact-checking, education and safeguarding, youth work and young people's own experience, the conversation will look not only at the challenges, but at what works: how we can strengthen critical thinking, build resilience, create safer online experiences and give young people the confidence to question, participate and make informed choices.

Above all, it asks how young people and the adults around them can navigate this changing world with greater confidence, understanding and trust.
