Campaign: | To encourage young people to follow their dreams |
I was bullied at school, which made me feel alone. My confidence was low and I’d hate having to face the same people day after day.
It was only when I started learning magic that things began to turn around.
The bullying stopped and for the first time in my life, I felt unique and valued.
I want to encourage young people to pursue their passions and not be afraid to aim high.
With Fixers, I hope to give them the confidence to follow their dreams and ambitions, without fear of failure.
Here is a list of Fixers helping me with this Fix:
Abbie Whitfield | Bethany Dowdell |
Chloe Brenan | Connor McDermott |
Dyllan Lemasonary | Emily Fraser |
Faye Doggart | Hannah Sellers |
Jack Flemming | Michaela Jeffrey |
Michael Trotter | Nathan Fletcher |
Sean Turner | Sophie Johnstone |
Victoria McCann | Ethan Wilson |
