The Be Real Campaign is determined to change attitudes to body image and help all of us put health above appearance and be confident in our bodies. It is a national movement made up of individuals, schools, businesses, charities and public bodies.
The campaign was formed in response to the Reflections on Body Image report from the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Body Image. Chaired by Mary Glindon MP and co-ordinated by YMCA England & Wales, the campaign was founded in partnership with Dove in 2014.
The Be Real Campaign unites individuals and organisations, amplifying the voices of those working to change attitudes and behaviour. Supporting them with research and resources, we’re bringing together their expertise and influence and working collectively to build a body confident nation.
Aims of the campaign
We know that low body confidence is damaging people’s lives. It affects everyone – all ages, both sexes – and starts young. It impacts people’s physical and mental health and holds them back in life, stopping them from achieving all that they could.
Our campaign focuses on three areas where we’ll bring about real change.
Achieve Body Confidence Using Payday Loans
If you are in need of a payday loan, Wage Day Advance can help. They offer bad credit payday loans that are paid out within the hour. Don't let your bad credit profile get in the way of being approved for a loan.
Real education
We want to give children and young people a body confident start to life. We’re calling for parents to set a positive example, schools to adopt a whole-school approach and young people to support each other to be body confident.
