What difference does £1,000 make?
GFS groups are already making a huge difference to girls in the communities they support.
Our ambition is to open six new groups to meet demand in existing GFS locations in the academic year 22/23.
We open groups in areas where girls need us most and are most impacted by a safe, stable, supportive community outside of school and family.
Each group we launch costs £6,000 to run for the first year.
This includes the cost of a dedicated local youth worker to run the group, start up equipment, fee waivers for girls who need them, training volunteers, promotion, venue hire and more.
By joining this campaign, you can be part of the reason we are able to build the wellbeing and self-esteem of an additional 96 girls like Olivia every single week.
