Welcome to our new and updated website!

We wanted to share a few reasons why we have taken the time to do this, especially in 2020. 

As we have seen the impact of Covid-19 on our way of life, our communities, our governments and societies, we felt that there has never been a more appropriate time to help enable young women leaders to become the leaders of the future. 

As a board, we have spent the time working with our design partners Buzzbar (thanks guys!) to design a website ready for a new generation of leaders that will emerge in a more digitalised society than ever, where leadership skills will need to be more developed to deal with the increasing uncertainty and rapidly changing environment. 

With great change comes great opportunity, and that is why we are so happy with our fresh new look. Our new website is launched as the result of some long, difficult work to understand what we - as the YWCA GB - could do to best support young women, and invest in their leadership. You’ll find information about our programmes, our advocacy and how to get involved by volunteering or donating. She Leads, our grant programme, is just one of the exciting new work we’ve been developing and we hope you love it as much as we do. 

We’ve been empowering young women since 1855 and while the world did look a little different back then, our aim hasn't changed, in fact we are even more committed to carry on the work of the YWCA GB and work with our partners across the UK and the globe. 

We are a digital charity, ready to provide support in a virtual environment, to impact our current and future young women leaders in their day to day lives. This is one step on that journey and we would love to hear what you think of the new look (oh hey!) and if you want to work with us.

Collaboration and connection are more important than ever and we can’t wait to get cracking on this new installment. 

Thanks,

The Board of Trustees
