Additional criteria within each of the five, revised, broad themes for support have been introduced.

The Master is pleased to announce that his chosen charity for this year is Beatbullying.
Founded in 1999, Beatbullying is the UK's leading bullying prevention charity. It empowers young people to lead anti-bullying campaigns in their schools and local communities, and builds the capacity of local communities to sustain the work. Working with the bullied, bullies themselves and bystanders they develop awareness of the effects of bullying, and train young people to become peer mentors and activists, supporting others affected by bullying and mobilising local opinion against it. Their solutions are devised and implemented by the children themselves. The charity has helped many young people beat bullying since its inception, assisting and supporting young people that are being bullied, re-educating and changing the behaviour of young people that bully, and preventing bullying in schools and communities across the UK. Beatbullying has won a string of awards, including Charity of the Year 2006/06 and 2006/07 - and it is easy to see why. This is a well-run, focussed and efficient organisation that is delivering a workable and scaleable solution to a pressing social need.
The Master will be in touch to inform members about ways to support the work of Beatbullying.
