Bulliesout was founded in May 2006 by Linda James as a direct result of her experience of bullying and how it affected her son. The organisation is an anti bullying charity providing help, support and information to individuals, schools, youth and community settings affected by bullying through online support, awareness campaigns and supporting schools to set up peer mentoring schemes. School support includes training and continued support.
There are a number of schemes working in Neath Port Talbot, Barry (Vale of Glamorgan), Ebbw Vale, Torfaen and Caldicot and ‘hands of courage’ workshops have been held in North Wales.
The organisation recognises that volunteers contribute in many ways, that their contribution is unique, and that it can benefit users of services, staff, local communities and the volunteers themselves. Bulliesout values the contribution made by volunteers, and is committed to working in ways which are encouraging, supportive and which develop volunteering.
Bulliesout is a fast growing, extremely busy Charity and can only do what it does with the tireless support and dedication of the volunteers who work so hard to ensure the Charity's aims are met.

Mae’r mudiad yn cydnabod bod gwirfoddolwyr yn cyfrannu mewn nifer o wahanol ffyrdd, bod eu cyfraniad yn unigryw, ac y gall eu cyfraniad fod o fudd i ddefnyddwyr gwasanaethau, i staff, i gymunedau lleol ac i’r gwirfoddolwyr eu hunain. Mae Bulliesout yn gwerthfawrogi’r cyfraniad a wneir gan wirfoddolwyr, ac mae wedi ymrwymo i weithio mewn ffyrdd sy’n annog, yn cefnogi ac yn datblygu gwirfoddoli.
