About Us

We are a subsidiary of Andeen Holdings, our ethos is rooted in the commitment to invest in businesses that contribute to a more informed, brighter, and safer future, both online and in the real world.

Our collaborative work is rooted in diversity of thought and a profound friendship; our Buddyhood. It has helped us navigate difficult times and provided us with a sense of belonging. Through The Buddyhood books that we publish, and all our resources, we hope to spread that feeling of belonging with others.

Founders and Authors

Harleen and Andrew are The Buddyhood’s founders and authors. 

“We are parents, who believe, like all parents, that our children, and every child for that matter, deserves a better world. Post the pandemic, society has become fragmented and emotional dysregulation, compounded with social media, is causing a generational divide and mental health crisis.

It’s not fair and we want to do something about it.  

We want to champion children and parents because it’s not easy and everyone is trying their hardest. We care and our books hope to bring people together, whilst sharing the warmth of a hug; something that we would have appreciated when times were tough.

Andy Ware
non-executive director

I am delighted to be part of The Buddyhood and to share my publishing and education experience with Harleen, Andrew, and the rest of the team.  As a husband and father of three daughters, I am extremely supportive of the vision of The Buddyhood, creating stories with purpose to achieve authenticity and positivity in the world, something I would have loved to share with my children as they grew up and which has resonance in their adult life today. An exciting venture, and a timely one.

Leyla Hussein
Head of Strategy

The Buddyhood matters to me because it speaks to something deeper than business; it’s about reshaping how young people see themselves and their place in the world. It’s a brand with a message that cuts through noise, driven by real values and creative courage.

Andy Hayward
Logistics Manager

The Buddyhood drew me in because it’s different; it’s not just a brand, it’s a movement with purpose. This project taps into something more meaningful and it's rare to work on something that speaks to the next generation and challenges the norms around social media and identity.

Georgia Lorimer
Campaigns & Outreach Manager

The Buddyhood is important to me because it brings people together around shared values of connection, belonging, and purpose. Being part of this community has inspired me to help build a more meaningful and positive future alongside others who care deeply about making a difference.

Lauren

The Buddyhood is essential in reshaping how young people interact with and perceive social media. As a teacher, it's important to me that we do everything we can to create a safe environment and help young people understand that their words and actions carry real consequences.

Pedro Pereria
Sales Manager

The Buddyhood is a powerful tool for helping people of all ages understand and navigate their emotions. Through the power of storytelling, it creates space for reflection, connection, and emotional growth - showing us that our feelings are valid and that we’re not alone in them.

Stories move and change us. Working with Buddyhood allows me to help bring purpose to those young people who deserve better messages and information about themselves and the world around them.
