Story

Our Fab 40 organisations are collectively working together to support GFS to open a further 6 safe space girl groups. Our groups work with girls to inspire and empower, with tools such as mental health resources to develop self-worth, confidence and resilience.

Research shows that from the age of five, girls start to see themselves and what they can achieve differently. By the age of 17, only 38% of girls feel able to be their true selves. However, research also found that single-gender spaces encourage girls to take more risks, express themselves and develop their confidence.

So the mission of GFS is to provide those single-gender spaces. We organise and run after school activity groups for girls. And girls are needing us now more than ever post pandemic to support them with mental health, resilience, and social skills.

Each company is raising or donating £1,000 so that we can open 6 new groups for girls who desperately need a safe space to feel valued and heard.

About the charity

Our mission is to support and inspire girls and young women by creating spaces where they feel safe and valued, so that they can build strong foundations that will prepare them for life’s challenges. We recruit volunteers throughout England and Wales to run these girls groups.
