Girls Out Loud – Out & About

Hattie (centre) and her speakers get ready to inspire

20 awesome role models arrived at Albion Academy on 15 January to inspire Year 8 girls to think big, believe in their dreams and reach for the stars. Our Role Model Relay event hosted for the first time by one of our top Ambassadors XFM radio presenter, Hattie Pearson, is a opportunity for the girls to be inspired by 4 women who share their journey upfront, then over an hour of speed mentoring where they get to chat to a diverse group of women from all walks of life. At this event we were joined by a a singer/songwriter, CEO of one of the leading children’s day nurseries, an international make-up artist/stylist, physiotherapist, beauty salon owner, sales consultant, fashion boutique owner, event manager, police officers, NHS manager, media executives and more. Here is a quote from one of the girls on her feedback form

‘These women made me believe that I can follow my dreams if I work hard and have hope.’ Job done!

Our Founder Jane Kenyon rants about girls on her recent blog

121s in action…

I must admit that I was nervous that school might not be the best place for the intimate coming-together of girls with Big Sisters. I suppose I was thinking back to my own school days and those dreary buildings designed to facilitate a regimented, authoritarian learning process. As soon as the bell rang for end […]
