What we do

We provide children and young people and professionals those all important opportunities to make positive and lasting changes to their lives and outlook, in particular, those so deeply affected by bullying that they can barely face going to school that next morning. We work tirelessly to affect that attitudinal change in those that bully, working with them on taking responsibility and a sense of ownership over their actions, building those foundations for change and improvement in chances and opportunities.

We have recruited talented and dedicated people along the way and have been evolving the programmes we are able to offer, ranging from music as a tool to beat bullying, community cohesion and interfaith bullying, to sport and migrating mentoring online, in response to need and in close consultation with our stakeholders.

Beatbullying ensures that the portfolio of programmes on offer, assist whole communities and work seamlessly across local authorities by embedding and sustaining the work, building strong local, regional and national partnerships along the way.

You can expect to find in all of our programmes, the following crucial ingredients:

1. Partnership building across communities, including schools, community groups, local businesses, library services, health and other providers of crucial children’s services and intervention programmes
2. Engaging with the whole school and ensuring we are able to assess the needs in partnership with a school, of their student population.
