“Self positive and no boys”
— Rita,10, Big Sis Workshop Participant

Fully funded programme for 10-13 year olds

About the programme

Creative Confidence Club supports girls and non-binary folks 10-13 to playfully learn about important topics related to growing up.

This exciting creativity and arts based curriculum covers self-esteem, body image, healthy relationships and other important puberty related themes young people (10-13) want to talk about.

It sets them up for an ongoing healthy relationship with their bodies and minds and they make friends whilst having fun.

They'll play games, create crafts, do creative exercises and we answer their questions and respond to their worries.

This space is lovingly facilitated for 10-13 year olds by Big Sis mentors.
