HISTORY
The London Anti-Bullying Coalition was founded by concerned
mothers in London, who were brought together by the tragic
commonality of their children being bullied and victimized
while in school.
These parents were faced with a challenge they knew they
could not ignore. A tragedy they knew not only touched the
lives of their children, but of countless other children in
their community who had no voice.
They were incensed by the news of the tragic death of a local
teenager who took his own life due to the relentless bullying
he suffered at the hands of his peers.
These mothers selflessly began to advocate for their children
and others by forming a coalition now known as the LABC. Their
mantra was "never again shall we lose a child to bullying."
They created a non-profit, grass roots organization that
was representative of a diverse group of people in our community
that would address not only the issue of bullying, violence
and harassment in our children's schools but also an organization
that would focus on the promotion of fairness, respect and
equality in every school for every child.
