What is The Girls'
Brigade?
The Girls' Brigade (GB)
is a Christian, international charity working alongside girls
and young women of every background, ability and culture. Since
our 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.
GB is lead 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. GB groups
(companies) usually meet on a weekday evening based in a local
church, centre or school.
World-wide (GB 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 our care.
GB Aim and Motto:
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 GB motto, known by
girls all over the world reads: Seek Serve and Follow Christ.
The way in which GB is
led varies in different countries around the world, reflecting
the diverse cultures in which GB works.
We, at Friars, currently
meet on a Wednesday night starting at 5.15pm.
