Fundraise for The Body Happy Organisation
Be part of a growing movement helping children celebrate, respect and accept ALL bodies – especially their own.
More than half of children and young people feel unhappy about their bodies. This affects their wellbeing, confidence in learning, relationships, and long-term health. Although body image is part of statutory education, many schools lack the training, time and support to tackle it in a meaningful, systemic way.
That’s why we created the Body Happy Schools Programme – the UK’s first whole-school approach to building cultures of body respect. Supported by The Fair Education Alliance and The University of Lincoln, the programme includes:
Staff CPD
Workshops and assemblies for pupils
Parent and caregiver engagement
Peer advocacy programmes
Research and evaluation
But right now, too many schools – particularly those serving high-Pupil Premium communities – can’t afford access.
Where your fundraising helps:
✅ Expand delivery so we can reach more pupils in more schools
✅ Develop new workshops, assemblies and advocacy resources
✅ Strengthen teacher training and caregiver support
✅ Subsidise access for schools serving high levels of students experiencing socioeconomic disadvantage
✅ Sustain core costs so we can grow responsibly and make long-term systemic change
Every fundraiser moves us closer to a world where children grow up free from body shame.
💛 Current priority: We are currently working toward a £60,000 fundraising target to expand delivery and subsidise access for high–Pupil Premium schools (50%+ FSM). Every fundraiser helps us get there.
What your fundraising could help make possible
£100

£500
