Bebo has announced a very seasonal initiative to give a platform to mental health and social care charities in a new well-being section. The Samaritans, ChildLine, BeatBullying and Mencap and eight other charities are all involved initially, supported by the Technology for Well Being Good Practice Policy Group.
Bebo seems far more active in its social responsibility role than its rivals; it has a high-profile chief safety officer, Rachel O'Connell, and does a better job at promoting these kind of initiatives.
O'Connell said in the release that building this level of support into the site is a natural progression: "We recognise that our community socialises online and appreciates easy access to support services from within Bebo which may not be as readily accessible in the real world."
