AnnaKennedyOnline launch ‘Give us a Break!’ Anti Bullying Campaign
AnnaKennedyOnline have launched their ‘Give us a Break!’ Anti Bullying Campaign with some help from talented illustrator on the Autistic spectrum Patrick Steele-Bodger.
Patrick is a talented illustrator on the Autistic spectrum, with a passion for cartoon and film. Over recent years he has been able to extend his illustrative skills in the workplace with Video2web, illustrating for companies like Ovenclean, ChipsAway, The Marist School in Sunningdale, ATS Global and Siemens.
For Anna Kennedy Online’s anti-bullying campaign ‘Give Us A Break’ 2018, Patrick wanted to share his understanding and insight into bullying through his drawings.
Creating his own storyboard and illustrations he tells the story of how Autistic people can be excluded, and the feelings and physical affects of being bullied.
As always with Patrick’s positive and enthusiastic nature, he finishes with an insight into the character of a bully and advise for those who are bullied on how to build an environment of security, inclusion and confidence around themselves.
Anna Kennedy OBE Founder of the UK Autism Charity shares ‘Please watch this powerful video created by Patrick.
‘It is simply unacceptable for any childhood to be spoilt by victimisation or bullying and we as a charity support taking a zero-tolerance approach towards all forms of bullying. Each day can be a battle for these children and their families, their own fight is simply for support. Stop and Think We say NO to Bullying!’
