Bruce MP supports Bye Buy Childhood Christmas Campaign
Fiona Bruce MP
is supporting the on-going campaign by the Mother’s Union, Bye Buy Childhood,
which is working to combat the commercialisation and sexualisation of young
people.
The campaign
has launched a postcard in time for Christmas encouraging people to think about
giving gifts other than presents to children this year such as spending time
with them on Christmas activities or writing a message in their
It also
encourages parents and guardians to make sure that if they are giving their child
a gift which has internet capability that they are aware of online safety
measures and protection for young people online.
Fiona said “I
am pleased to support this campaign, we need to ensure that children are able
to develop at their own pace without being exposed to matter that is far too
old for them at far too young an age. The Christmas element of this campaign
encourages us all to think about others this Christmas, a time that, for some,
can seem lonely and hopeless, and to focus not on the commercial aspect of this
time of year but on strengthening relationships and contributing to the wider
community.”
