St. Hilda’s East Brave Girls
For girls in East London aged 10-16
Brave Girls is a youth group in east London that meets every Thursday from 5–7pm. Named by its members, it provides a safe, fun, and supportive space for girls to explore, develop, and grow as confident, resilient individuals.
The group works with our youth team to plan activities that are relevant and engaging, helping participants build friendships and life skills. Activities include arts and crafts, movie and pizza nights, dance and drama workshops, social action projects, and wellbeing sessions.
Through these activities, girls spend time with positive role models, gain confidence, and are supported in their personal growth and decision-making. The programme also aims to steer young people away from anti-social behaviours and encourage positive community involvement.
We’re proud to work with partners such as Sadler’s Wells and London Sport to provide creative and active opportunities that inspire our young people to be strong, brave, and connected.
Brave Girls is free to attend. We’d love you to join us, please contact Yemi for more information [email protected].
In partnership: We are proud to work with organisations such as Jack Petchey and St John’s Ambulance, as well as local schools in Tower Hamlets, to maximise opportunities for our young people.
“I was very shy and didn’t talk except to my close friends due to lock down and St Hilda’s Girls’ Project has re-introduced me to socialising and making new friends.”

Young Leadership Development Programme
For our older Brave Girls, we run a Young Leadership Development Programme. The programme gives participants the chance to take on leadership roles within the group and develop skills that will support them into adulthood.
Our young leaders help plan and run activities, welcome new members, and act as positive role models for younger participants. They also take part in training sessions focused on communication, teamwork, and leadership, helping them build confidence and responsibility.
Through this experience, participants gain valuable skills, strengthen their sense of purpose, and play an active role in shaping the Brave Girls community.
