Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

No young person should ever be made to feel inferior in any way, or driven to the point of wanting to take their own lives because of the selfish, hurtful behaviour of others. 

  • BulliesOut provides help, support and information to those affected by bullying. Through their innovative, interactive workshops and training programmes, they use their experience, energy and enthusiasm to focus on awareness, prevention, building empathy and positive peer relationships.
Anyone who knows me, knows my footwear... usually stomptabulous New Rocks adorned with bits of chain and other shiny things..... Well, the Rocks are coming off and I'm going to "Brave the Blaze"  because I believe bullying needs to be stamped out.
This is a subject that is very close to my heart.
My son has been on the receiving end of some very hurtful behaviour over the years.... he has autism and some people tend to mock that which they do not understand. To bully anyone is shameful... to bully someone who is particularly vulnerable is beyond the pale. I believe everyone should be treated respectfully and fairly.

  • BulliesOut desperately needs funds to expand and upgrade the Online Mentoring Forum which is a much needed support service that is provided freely for young people affected by bullying. THIS SERVICE IS VITAL.  Please,  please help them to continue supporting often very distressed and desperate young people.

Thank you.
