Former England Rugby international Ben Cohen yesterday visited The Elmgreen School in Tulse Hill, south London, to support leading anti-bullying charity Diversity Role Models (DRM). Year 9 students at the school were participating in DRM’s ground-breaking workshops that tackle homophobic, biphobic and transphobic bullying. The Ben Cohen StandUp Foundation already supports DRM financially, but this is the first time that Ben has seen DRM’s workshops up close.
Boys of Bridgend burst onto the scene in 2014 with their debut calendar raising funds for the Everyman Appeal to help fight the battle against testicular and prostate cancer. After selling in over 35 countries around the world, the boys are now back in the studio working on their brand new calendar for 2016 and this years fundraising will go to support the work of the Ben Cohen Standup Foundation which was created by former international rugby star, Ben Cohen to raise awareness of the long-term, damaging effects of bullying and homophobia and to raise funds to support those doing real-world work to stop it from happening.
