6 TIME for CHANGE The Problem At Changing Faces we know that looking and feeling different in a society where appearance is valued very highly can be extremely difficult particularly for young people who are under such pressure to look perfect. There are 86,000 children of school age in the UK today with a disfigurement. Our research shows that almost half of young people with visible differences are bullied about their appearance at school. Children who look different face many difficult challenges and at Changing Faces we believe that now is the time for change. Face Equality Day 2018: The Future of Face Equality We will launch our year of action for children and young people on Face Equality Day May 23rd 2018 our very first specifically for young people. Face Equality Day is the key focus point across the UK for everyone working with people with a visible difference. It is the UK s only campaign to ensure that everyone with a visible difference is treated fairly and equally. We Need Your Help Changing Faces needs your help to achieve all this for children and young people. We can t do it alone Marcus (aged 14) experienced bullying at school at primary school They would call me names like scar face, two-face and Joker. I was really upset and although I would try and ignore them it was really hard. Left, Marcus with WONDER actor Jacob Tremblay
