Thank you to everyone who participated in our Make A Noise festival this year, it was a real success.

All the bands and contributors alike were absolutely fantastic, and it was so lovely to see the community come together and remember Sophie’s birthday.

We started proceedings with a set from Light The Cannons, an alternative rock band from Germany. Following their set we had Second Cities from the UK, then Hateful Chains from Finland, messages from supporters including Robin Ince, short stories from author Tracey M Carvill and then to finish the night, Swedish goth-rockers, Dark Side Cowboys.

We were also able to raise £465 which is incredible – so thank you, everyone.

Anti-Bullying Week takes place from the 13th to 17th November 2023, organised in England, Wales and Northern Ireland by the Anti-Bullying Alliance. Too often, bullying is dismissed as banter, with bystanders staying silent about the bullying behaviour that takes place and the hurt it causes. It is time to make a noise, take a stand and be the change to stop bullying in our schools. Let’s make some noise about bullying!

Both the Primary and Secondary resources contain an assembly presentation and accompanying brochure, covering bullying behaviour, cyber-bullying and how to be an upstander. Please feel free to download and if you do use our resource, please let us know by using the hashtag #antibullyingweek
