By age 12, girls experience a drop in confidence that limits their goals, wellbeing & happiness. Without intervention, research shows that women don't regain the same level of confidence as men until their 40s! We see the beginnings of this drop in confidence from as young as six, with girls joining GFS experiencing anxiety, loneliness, challenging friendships and bullying. This is especially significant in communities where deprivation is high, opportunities are reduced & challenges increased.

At GFS we build confidence and skills in younger girls to support them through challenging teenage years and beyond. GFS provides girls in disadvantaged communities with a safe space and an interactive and fun programme that develops essential life skills. Through the GFS programme every girl will learn; to speak up, to try again, to enjoy friendships with all kinds of people, to try new things, to be proud of who she is, and to believe she can achieve her dreams.
