Inspire is proud to announce a brand-new girls-only drop-in session at our Ipswich location.
The sessions will be launching on Thursday, 26th June, and run from 3:30pm to 6:00pm.
Following feedback from young women that there aren’t enough female-only spaces in the local area, Inspire listened and took action, and have created a space where girls can feel safe and empowered.
Like all Inspire drop-ins, the Thursday session will provide a supportive environment. Not only will it be a place to hang out and meet new friends, but there will also be the opportunity to talk to a youth worker about any issues.
There will also be workshops running at the drop-ins, covering everything from online safety to nail technician training and girls only sport.
Jay Wallace-Langan, Pre-16 Project Coordinator, said: “With the success of Vibrance at Hadleigh Youth Centre, we’ve seen how vital it is for young women to have a place where they can thrive.
“We have the opportunity to do the same in Ipswich, and we want to make sure we’re empowering all the local females.
“This new group is the next step in opening up more opportunities for young girls, as well as giving them a sense of belonging and empowerment.”
The Girls-Only drop in starts at the Inspire Ipswich Youth Hub on June 26 and will run every Thursday from 3.30pm until 6pm. It’s open for everyone in year 7 to year 11.
