#WeAreMarkerstudy's Women's Network are dedicating their efforts to support and promote #AccelerateAction by fundraising for the "Girls Friendly Society" GFS).

For almost 150 years, GFS has been working to create a world where all girls and young women can thrive. Today, girls as young as six are advising that they're unable to be themselves. So, GFS groups work to help girls build their confidence up by offering a safe single-gender place where they can learn to be themselves and be proud of who they are.

Unlike many organisations, their aim is to achieve this through early intervention, working with girls to prevent the degradation in confidence and self-esteem that comes with around age 11, rather than reversing it during the teenage years.

GFS primarily work with girls in the most deprived areas of England and Wales, where they know girls’ futures are disproportionately disadvantaged.

The charity supports them through services that provide a non-competitive environment that values every girl individually, and allows them to build and consolidate the foundations that will prepare them for life’s challenges.

GFS's mission is to support and inspire girls and young women, "We will create spaces where they feel safe and valued, so that they can build strong foundations that will prepare them for life’s challenges"
