Venturesome, the social investment fund of the Charities Aid Foundation, is backing the charity Beatbullying with an unsecured loan of £80,000 to help develop its core services and reach more children across the country. 40% of children who use Beatbullying’s website say that they have skipped off school in order to avoid bullying. One in two primary school children and one in four secondary school children have been affected by bullying. Venturesome’s loan will help Beatbullying to reach more children between 5 and 16 as it expands its successful anti-bullying programmes into new areas of the UK.
