The Wardle RESPECT events allow students to take part in a variety of different activities and workshops hosted by external professionals.
The agencies who came to Wardle Academy included, The Boobettes, WHAG (Womans Housing Action Group) and Just Like Us.
The Boobettes are the team that work for Coppafeel.org who visit schools and other establishments to raise awareness of breast cancer.
“We like to talk about a serious message in a light-hearted way, empowering people to start healthy habits for life.”
The presentations where nothing short of breathtaking and heartfelt.
Just Like Us was founded for a simple reason: growing up LGBT+ is still one of the most challenging experiences young people can face.
They believe the best way to support LGBT+ young people is to make sure they hear powerful positive messages about being LGBT+ from other LGBT+ young people, just a little older and little wiser.
The volunteers for JLU delivered exceptional presentations which delivered key information which encouraged class discussion.
The Womans Housing Action Group help vulnerable people to incite change and shared with our students excellent knowledge and experience which was very though provoking.
RESPECT day was fantastic and highly beneficial to our students – thank you to everyone who made this possible!
