We Are Stronger Charity

What We Are Stronger Charity does

We Are Stronger Charity is a UK-registered non-profit (Charity No. 1181286) founded on 29 May 2017 by Olga Venosa, with a parallel Italian entity (We Are Stronger ODV, CF93503990728) registered in 2019. The organisation provides anti-bullying prevention programmes, psychological counselling, legal advice, and telephone support to bullying victims across all ages, operating through a network of approximately 100 staff and volunteers (predominantly volunteer) across the UK and Italy.

The core offering centres on the proprietary Extirpating Bullying by Educating (EBE) methodology, developed with psychologists and neuroscientists based on neuroplasticity concepts, delivered via school workshops, teacher training, and parent education. Educational products include two published children's books, 'Kindness Is All Around' (2021) and 'Riding Kindness' (2024), available in English, Italian, and Spanish through Amazon, Waterstones, Foyles, Barnes & Noble, and Italian publishers. Sub-projects include Project Smiling Choc (anti-bullying and eating disorder prevention in primary schools), Independent Wallet (financial wellbeing), and a Twinkl-distributed free primary school resource pack.

The revenue model is donations-based and event-driven. Primary income sources include individual donations, corporate partnerships (Aviva Community Fund, nCino Global, Inspire Hounslow Foundation, Egro' London), ticketed fundraising events (marathons, mindfulness sessions, dance events), and book sales. Grants disclosed between 2021 and 2022 totalled approximately £80,000. Services are provided free of charge to bullying victims. Distribution combines direct school partnerships, an event ticketing and PayPal donation portal, global book retail, and partnerships with Croce Rossa Italiana and Federation Le Strade di San Nicola in Italy.
