After 19 transformative years, our founder and CEO, Liam, is stepping down from Ditch the Label on December 20th.
Starting the organisation at just 15 years old, Liam turned a simple idea into a global movement that has:
✨ Reached over 180 million people
✨ Supported millions of young people
✨ Sparked conversations and campaigns that continue to make a difference
While this marks the end of an extraordinary chapter, it also signifies the beginning of an exciting new era for Ditch the Label. Our dedicated trustees and team are committed to building on Liam’s legacy and ensuring the charity continues to grow and impact lives worldwide.
Join us in celebrating everything Liam has achieved and wishing him all the best in his next adventure!

As the holiday season approaches, we are temporarily closing our support community between Saturday 23rd December to Monday 1st January.

During this time, our amazing team of mentors will be taking a well-deserved break to spend time with family and friends, recharge, and celebrate the festivities.

We understand that support is crucial, and we apologise for any inconvenience or disruption this may cause.

We've included a list of crisis organisations in this post which are available over the holiday season if you need support during this time ❤️

For those that celebrate, all of us at Ditch the Label wish you a happy and peaceful holiday season and a Happy New Year! ✨
