You’re part of the body confidence revolution. Every individual can make a difference and help change attitudes to body confidence.
Do you ever feel unhappy about the way you look? Have worries about your appearance ever stopped you doing something you wanted to do? You’re not alone. Sixty percent of people in the UK are ashamed of their appearance.
It’s time we all got back in control of how we feel about our own bodies.

We want to give our children and young people a body confident start to life so that they can achieve everything they want to. We know that low body confidence can affect children as young as five so it’s vital that we start tackling it from an early age. If you’re a parent, grandparent, aunt, uncle, brother or sister you can affect the way the children in your life think about their bodies. If you have responsibility for a child, ensure you set a positive example and encourage body confidence by using positive and avoiding negative language about your own body image or that of others.
Everything you say about someone’s appearance will have a positive or negative impact on the way they feel.
Support friends, family and colleagues to face down body anxiety and have the confidence to make the most of life.
