The Girls Friendly Society is expanding into a Hackney on International Women’s Day, March 8th. The new group aims to bolster the opportunity of young girls in the local area.
The charity specifically targets and tailors its programs toward helping young girls in the difficult transition made between childhood and adolescence.
The decision was made when local girl Keira decided she wanted the services and comfortable atmosphere that the group offered. Applying to The Girls Friendly Society she asked for the permission to setup a branch in Hackney. With approval quickly given, the new group will be meeting every Friday at Redmonton Community Centre.
The girls can meet up and engage in a range of activities from arts and crafts to trips abroad.
The move is welcomed by local families, particularly mothers. Campaigners have noted how the move will alleviate a lot of pressure from mums in Hackney who they say have a “hard enough time balancing their work life and family life… it’s always good to get a helping hand.”
