The Body Happy Organisation

The Body Happy Organisation is a social enterprise dedicated to promoting positive body image in children and young people. Through student workshops in schools, staff training CPD workshops, learning resources and peer support, we help schools - and all organisations that work with children and young people - create environments that nurture the body esteem of the kids in their care. 

We're the only body image education organisation in the UK made up of a multi-disciplinary team of professionals, including educators, doctors, counsellors, nutritionists, dietitians, media professionals, health psychologists, body image researchers and weight inclusive fitness trainers. We have a rigorous impact measurement process and a high level of in-house accountability with a Board of Directors that includes a GP, a teacher, a project manager and our founder - author, campaigner and journalist Molly Forbes. 

Our focus is on prevention and culture change, and we are currently working with The University of Lincoln to delve into the science behind our approach and framework. 

Our framework consists of: 

• CPD staff training workshops
• Student Sessions workshops for children and young people 
• Learning resources 
• Peer support
• Books and bespoke designed physical resources, including our signature affirmation activity card deck, stickers and posters
