Our 2024/5 Report
In our first reporting period Girl Up UK has been focused on establishing partnerships to propel our activities for the future. The current political and social environment has created a challenging environment for diversity focused organisations, including our own efforts at Girl Up UK.
Equally with a shift in our affiliate global organisation Girl Up to sign a new partnership with Global Fund for Children we have recognised the need to prioritise this move for the next phase of Girl Up globally.
Fundraising activities have been limited in our first year however we look to shift this focus in the following years.
We are proud that despite the challenging and changing environment we have been able to continue the work of Girl Up UK, to support youth-led activities through our grassroots Girl Up clubs. Additionally, the support for club led activities has secured corporate partnership for the forthcoming year.
