"Foreskin health information and advice & provide information for people with circumcision issues."
Who We Help, Why We Help & the Difference It Makes
Male Suicide: Our Statement.
15 Square have been in operation as an organisation since 1994. From our very first meeting, theme of deep emotional distress has been a topic of conversation. Over the past 30 years we have had ongoing discussions within the organisation ranging from trauma, coping mechanisms, and even suicide.
We are aware of several men, that have taken their own lives over the years, and even more that have some form of psychological impact that they struggle with. Some are members of our organisation, some are not, but many men carry the burden of suicidal ideation. Their difficulties are often linked to the lasting psychological and physical harm of circumcision. This is an overlooked issue in men’s health. Too many suffer in silence, unseen and unsupported.
Our mission is to change that.
We aim to provide information on foreskin health conditions and how to resolve them without having to resort to unnecessary and unwanted surgery. We work to improve public and professional awareness about the function and value of the male foreskin as well as the complications and harms associated with circumcision affecting some men.
Finally, we work to help those affected by circumcision by providing support and advice.
The information on this website is designed to help individuals affected by foreskin health conditions, as well as individuals affected by circumcision issues including;
Psychological damage
Physical problems
Issues of sexual function resulting from the above
Personal dissatisfaction
On our website you can find foreskin health information and advice for intact men, as well as information for men with circumcision issues.
This information is also targeted towards parents and carers. We teach about conservative techniques to help avoid unnecessary circumcision and help assist men who have been harmed.
15 Square promotes research, accurate health information, and informed consent.

Project Details
Through research and investigation into publicly available educational material and drawing from the experiences that we as a men's health charity have from the contacts we have received into the charity, we are quite concerned about the resources available to educate teenage boys, who have little understanding about foreskin function, whether it is supposed to retract or how to do it.
They have had no education regarding the care of the foreskin and feel there is no one they can talk to about it.
This project will provide all educational bodies with resources to meet this need.
We will produce:
- Accurate, high-quality educational resources packs on the form and function of the male penis,
- Bespoke original images crafted to show young people in an age-appropriate way, the various states of development through puberty,
- Information for people who have already undergone a circumcision, and information on common health issues.
- Material on how to spot any potential issues and what steps to take to achieve a healthy outcome.
We firmly believe that all young people deserve this information, and by producing it and licensing it to educational bodies, we will be able to ensure the next generation grows up better informed than the last, thus reducing the occurrence of unnecessary circumcisions.
What difference will it make?
- Teenage boys will have increased their knowledge of foreskin function and health
- Teenage boys will have more confidence and self-esteem
- Teenage boys will have a source of help for problems
This project will meet key aims for educational resources and the improvement of young people's lives.
We are ensuring these resources are high quality, and accurate so that they can be readily accepted by the education authority.
Our ultimate goal is to sell the license to these resources so they can be included in the current curriculum of RSE that schools legally must deliver to their students.
We have the opportunity to reach all enrolled students. This project has a massive opportunity to deliver accurate information to all students, teachers, parents, and caregivers.
We are also liaising with our colleges worldwide so that we can raise the profile of this project so that other countries' education authorities can access the project to strengthen the quality of the RSE they deliver to all students.
If funding is raised, we will dedicate our time to reaching as many different educational authorities, schools, clubs, and teaching hubs as possible to ensure that the material is included in their RSE programs.
