Family Lives has taken over another small bullying charity, this time bringing TeenBoundaries UK under its wing.

Teenboundaries UK, which had an annual income of £6,570 in the year ending 30 September 2010, is a charity aimed at stopping sexual bullying via interactive workshops.

Late last year the charity, under its former name Parentline Plus, merged with Bullying UK when it was unable to find sustained funding.

Jeremy Todd, chief executive of Family Lives, said: “Our helpline Parentline receives calls from families concerned about all aspects of teenage relationships and as a charity, we strongly believe that merging our skills, knowledge and experience will enable us to further support families when dealing with such an important and emotive issues such as building strong teenage relationships and avoiding abuse.”
