Our Wellness Project in Secondary Schools for Body Positivity

Secondary school is already tough as it, but now with the growing negative pressures of social media to look perfect, we are seeing an increase of young people dealing with low self esteem, social comparison & even depression.

ABOUT THE PROJECT

The Glow Up Project empowers young people aged 11-15 in local London Secondary School’s, through self-esteem and wellness activities.

It comprises of 5 workshops using crafts to develop creative responses and solutions to mental wellbeing.

And explores body image concerns to help unlock fears & worries that are causing them to struggle academically and / or socially in School.

Using Frank's first hand experience of dealing with the emotional effects of having acne for 5 + years, he felt it important to help young people manage negative body image concerns, with a focus on skin education & acne positivity.

 

 

WHAT WE'VE ACHIEVED SO FAR:

• Has already positively impacted over 300 young people & counting! Profits from our skincare products have helped support the glow up project, and as we grow, we aim for it to be completely sustainably funded through Frank’s Remedies® profits.

• Our 5 week programme has an AQA accreditation, so students can be awarded with a nationally recognised certificate. Thus, strengthening the students CV and benefit their application for future study/work opportunities

• Frank curated & led London Borough of Culture’s first youth-led event at London, City Hall. This was attended by 60, 15-25 year olds, alongside Justine Simmons OBE & Mayor of London
