Mrtin Staniforth - Dove Self-Esteem Fund

I help run the Dove Self-Esteem Fund for Dove. It’s a really inspiring role. We’ve discovered that so many young people hold back in life because they aren’t comfortable with how they look. This is such a crushing waste of talent! To help offset this, I help create a whole series of workshops, activities and education materials so that young people can feel more confident about the way they look, and then spend more time living their lives to the full. We’ve sent packs out to schools, developed materials with GirlGuiding UK and created fun online activities that you can find at www.dove.co.uk/#/cfrb/selfesteem

So far in the UK, at least 438,000 young people have used these resources. And, globally, the figure is over 3 million. It’s our vision that no young person should leave education feeling that they can’t participate fully in life because of the way that they think they look. And we are joined in this wish by young people, parents and celebrities. Take a look at the online tools and spread the word!
