The Girls' Brigade is a Christian, international charity working alongside girls and young women of every background,
ability and culture.
Since its foundation in 1893, Girls' Brigade has become known world-wide as a fun, interesting, challenging and relevant provider of activities, skills, care and Christian love for hundreds of thousands of young people.
Girls' Brigade is led by Christian women from local churches. These leaders are trained volunteers who are committed to providing a regular meeting time of activities and skills for girls and young women. Girls' Brigade groups, known as companies, usually meet on a weekday evening based in a local church, centre or school.
World-wide (Girls' Brigade operates in around 60 countries at present) the charity seeks to enable girls and young women to develop in confidence, ability, friendship and citizenship, and is committed to nurturing the unique value of every girl in their care.
The international aim of Girls' Brigade is to help girls to become followers of the Lord Jesus Christ, and through reverence, self control and a sense of responsibility to find true enrichment of life.
The way in which Girls' Brigade is led varies in different countries around the world, reflecting the diverse cultures in which Girls' Brigade works.
