The Girls' Network inspires and empowers girls from the least advantaged communities who face the double disadvantage of gender and wealth inequality. Help us change the lives of these girls via our award winning programme that connects them with a mentor and network of positive female role models.
Girls from the poorest communities face the double disadvantage of gender and wealth inequality. Many come from more than three generations who have not worked, and thus do not have the knowledge or access to opportunities that their more wealthy peers have, nor the essential role models needed to break this trend. Compared to their male peers and wealthier female counterparts they are less likely to do well at school, less likely to go on to university and less likely to enter the world of work
Our programme aims to empower and inspire girls to be ambitious, achieve their potential and create a better future for themselves. We match them with a female mentor to develop their knowledge, skills, outlook, confidence and resilience. This is supported via a calendar of workshops (e.g. confidence building, dealing with anxiety, industry deep dives), career roundtables, work experience and leadership training, deepening skills development and ensuring access to our wider professional Network
