Notes for Editors
· British Naturism is the UK’s officially recognised naturist organisation. It exists to support and unite naturists around the UK and celebrated its 40th anniversary in 2004, although previous incarnations have been in existence since the 1930s.
· Amongst the aims of BN are to campaign for more naturist places to be made available and to protect naturists against discrimination.
· In the UK, there are over 150 sun clubs, swim clubs and holiday resorts and 11 officially designated naturist beaches, with many more being used regularly by naturists. Membership of BN is around 15,000 people.
· BN co-produced Bare Britain, with Lifestyle Press in June 2005, a guidebook to naturism and naturist places in the UK. It is available in bookshops up and down the country, a landmark step for a book on this subject, and has become a best-seller.
· YBN (Young British Naturists) has a membership of 250 young men and women between the ages of 16 and 30 who get together at clubs and beaches many weekends. They represented the UK at the International Naturist Federation (INF) Youth Rally held in France in 2005 and will be hosting the Rally in the UK in 2007.
· Naturism is good for you. Naturists report improvements in well-being, stress, chronic illness, self-esteem and body image.
· British Naturism have adopted the Marine Conservation Society (MCS) as their President’s Charity of the Year. We are raising funds and awareness and working with them to raise money for their causes. Naturists will be participating in the MCS Coastal Challenge in May 2007.
· For the media, there is a dedicated “Media Centre” at http://www.british-naturism.org.uk/mediacentre which contains useful information for those wishing to write about naturism or feature this wonderful world in their publications or programmes, including a downloadable Media Information Pack. There is also a contact page at http://www.british-naturism.org.uk/contact/ to ensure that any enquiries are directed to the right person and gain an appropriate and speedy reply.
