Breck Foundation
was founded after 14-year-old Breck Bednar was murdered by an online groomer. Our innovative education programmes honour Breck’s memory and empower children to navigate the ever-changing digital world safely and mindfully.
Education through storytelling
Our unique charity is based on a tragic personal story that resonates with everyone who hears it, whatever their age. That is why our online safety sessions work – they are relatable, honest and rooted in the real world.
Special Projects
Our impactful projects include ‘Game Over’, which dramatises Breck’s story for the stage, ‘Breck Ambassadors’, which empowers peer educators, and ‘Rise E2E’, which covers up-to-date online safety topics often missed by the curriculum.
Special Educational Needs and Disability (SEND)
Our powerful suite of SEND resources help us effectively share Breck’s story with SEND pupils. Written and curated by an SEND expert and teacher, the resources include music, a picture book, a play and a graphic novel.
