"Foreskin health information and advice & provide information for people with circumcision issues."
Who We Help, Why We Help & the Difference It Makes
We now offer a completely free talking therapy service.
As we have an audience spread around the world, we find having online meetings as well as in-person ones helps us provide support and information to those who cannot attend our meetings in our Stone office space.
In our previous meetings, we have listened to the feedback mentioned by our attendees so we have tried to cater to everyone’s needs.
Any 15 Square members are welcome to participate, talk, or just listen.
The RSE educational material currently being produced by 15 Square will give a comprehensive understanding of the natural forms and functions of the male penis so that those with a penis can receive accurate education on the function of their body.
It is intended to fill the gap in the current information available to schools, youth workers and parents on the care and development of the penis, bringing the education given to boys in line with that already delivered to girls on menstruation.
15 Square strongly believes that boys are to be given the full and correct understanding of how this vital area of their body functions, so that incidents of harm from forced retractions, the fear from not knowing what to do if one has true phimosis and the lack of knowledge of what is supposed to happen to their penis as they grow and develop is correct, meaning the next generation of men will know how their body functions right from the start.
Why this project is so vital
We have had numerous enquiries to the charity since its conception in 1998, from men, their partners, boys and their parents as well as medical professionals and educators, asking for advice and information when issues arise.
One of 15 Square’s main motivations behind this project is the story of Alex Hardy, who after suffering from a tight foreskin and undergoing a circumcision, in the hopes of correcting the situation, suffered from significant harm physically and psychologically from the results of the circumcision that he sadly took his own life.
Alex mother Lesley roberts has written a book about her grief and alex life you can find it at most bookstores and online retailer it is called A Is For Alex by Lesley Roberts

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.
