Welcome Ash22 !

Firstly I recommend you read and listen along to 'What is Buddhism'

Then, as there are Theravada and Mahayana traditions within Buddhism, you might find this helpful:

As you are a beginner it would also be beneficial for you to investigate the Buddhist Study Guide at the Buddhanet website:
