In addition to implementing our girls, hub, we have recruited a group of 6 researchers, aged 16 or over, to
conduct youth-led research in Greenhill. The groiip has played an important role over the last 12 months,
completing training and conducting research to understand the factors contributing to young ￿oMen and girls,

co-developed, girl-led initiatives to ensure that all youiig women and girls have equal access to and engagement
