Be a Champion

Amplify our impact. Help us create change.

More than half of children and young people feel negatively about their bodies. The impact on wellbeing, learning and school culture is profound – but too often overlooked.

Despite body image being part of statutory education, many schools and families lack the tools, training and confidence to tackle these issues head on. That’s where we come in.

The Body Happy Schools Programme is the UK’s first whole-school body respect initiative – a pioneering approach developed with support from the Fair Education Alliance and the University of Lincoln.

The programme includes:

✅ Staff CPD and training

✅ Student workshops and peer advocacy

✅ Curriculum resources

✅ Parent and caregiver tools

✅ System-wide support for schools

We're on a mission to raise £60,000 to expand the programme and subsidise access for schools where 50% or more of pupils are eligible for free school meals.

Your support will help us reach more children and embed body respect into the fabric of school life.
