Action 4 Bullying is a youth project in the North of Birmingham set up to support young people who are most affected by bullying. David Turner – The Founder of Action 4 Bullying was severely affected by bullying in his schools years and approached Youth Worker John Fisher for support to make his idea a reality. The project is run from Erdington Six Ways Baptist Church, Wood End Road. They run a yo
uth club on Thursdays & Saturdays to support young people who are identified as being most in need of support. They also run projects during school holidays. The project was set up in April 2014 by John & David who currently volunteer full time to manage the project. David is an Erdington resident and John has previously lived there. David came up with the idea due to his personal experience of bullying – and the lack of support he received and wanted to do something to ‘fill the gap’ in regards to support for young victims
Our project aims to support young people who are most effected by bullying offering a safe environment with activities that boost their confidence and self-esteem. We aim to reduce the effects the bullying has on the young person early on to avoid any lasting long term effects. We run a youth club twice per week as well as holiday programs. We provide fun activities as well as learning opportunities and issue based work and structured sessions. combining their skills John & David went onto apply for funding and set up the project as it now stands. After successfully securing a number of pots of funding we are now running regular youth projects during school holidays and a youth club which launches in February 2015 These are very exciting times for us at Action 4 Bullying so please do keep an eye on our website for new on upcoming projects and events.
