When we talk about confidence and resilience, many parents assume it’s something you only worry about when it noticeably drops. “Oh, my daughter is fine, she doesn’t need to be more fearless!” We get it – if a girl is bubbly, assertive, doing well at school and seems socially secure, it can feel as though she doesn’t need extra support. But confidence is not a rescue plan. It is a skill set. Research consistently shows that girls’ confidence declines sharply in early adolesce

Aren’t there already clubs like this? Don’t other organisations already offer great opportunities for girls? They do. And many families love them. But Fearless Girls Club was created because there was something very clearly missing for our girls and that gap shapes everything we do. Fearless Girls Club offers something very different. A transformational space where girls can build confidence at their own pace, develop emotional skills and feel part of a community that values

At Fearless Girls Club, we believe girlhood should be a place where confidence can take root, curiosity is encouraged and girls feel able to take up space. Our award-winning after-school clubs are designed to do exactly that. They give girls aged 8–12 a regular, supportive place to explore who they are and who they are becoming, away from academic pressure and constant comparison. After-school clubs matter. For many girls, the hours after the school day ends are when self-do

Everything we do at Fearless Girls Club comes from a deeply held set of beliefs about who girls are and what they deserve. And it all sits under one simple goal: Find Your Fearless .  That means helping every girl discover her voice, her confidence and her sense of what she is capable of. Not in a big, dramatic, performative way but in hundreds of small, real, everyday moments that weave together to last a lifetime. These are our five core values and we love them and live the

The world has a long history of telling girls to be ‘kind’. On the surface, it sounds harmless, even noble. Who wouldn’t want a world where people treat each other with respect, empathy and compassion? But that’s not what girls are actually being taught. For generations, kindness has been used as code for something else entirely: be quiet, smooth things over, don’t make a fuss, put everyone else first. It’s the velvet glove wrapped around a very old expectation – that girls s

The new year arrives with equal parts excitement and pressure. For tween girls (aged 8 to 12), January can be a tricky mix of new school terms, fresh expectations and a lot of talk about goals. Even girls who usually seem steady can feel wobbly as routines restart and comparisons creep in. At this age self-esteem is naturally more fragile. Girls become more aware of what others think, and the pressure to be clever, sporty, popular or socially switched on can build fast. The a

Confidence is a muscle that gets its enduring power from small, consistent experiences. That’s why, off the back of co-founder Elle Wilks’ recent recording for the Child Psych Podcast  (to be released early 2026), micro-moments were a hot topic in her advice to parents: simple, repeatable experiences that help girls feel capable, seen and supported and enable girls to build and maintain the mastery of a confident mindset. Research shows girls’ confidence drops sharply around

Buying Christmas gifts for tween girls can feel utterly impossible (we know, we have the same problem in our families every year!). Too often it’s cheap plastic, trends she’ll forget in a week or something that looks fun but doesn’t do  anything and gets discarded after five minutes. It feels like throwing money in the bin for the sake of buying something .  The Fearless Girls Club subscription box changes that. Here’s why it’s a gift for girls this Christmas that actually ma

Co-Authored with Dr Emma Hill, Educational Psychologist at ELLES Psychology There’s a concept that teachers swear by but most parents haven’t heard of, and it might just change the way you support your kids. It’s called scaffolding. Think of it as temporary support that you build around your child; strong enough to help her reach new heights, but designed to come down as she grows steady on her own. This idea sits right in the middle of one of the trickiest parts of parenting

After we’ve enthusiastically belted out our club affirmations (I am brave! I am bold! I am fearless!), we begin every Fearless Girls Club session with a simple ritual: One Good Thing. Each girl takes a turn to share something positive from her week, whether it’s finishing a tricky piece of homework, trying a new activity or doing something fun with friends. It might look like a quick icebreaker, but there’s a lot happening beneath the surface. This small act of sharing suppor

When it comes to raising confident girls, there’s no shortage of advice out there. But much of it is based on ideas that don’t quite hold up in real life. At Fearless Girls Club, we spend a lot of time listening to girls and working with them – and we’ve found that the path to confidence isn’t always what the books or quick-fix tips suggest. Myth 1: Being confident means being loud and annoying Confidence often gets confused with extroversion or even arrogance, especially in

One of the things we care about most at Fearless Girls Club is making sure girls feel seen, heard and genuinely involved in shaping their own experience. This approach is baked in to both our after-school club model and our brand new monthly subscription boxes . Rather than designing everything behind closed doors, we co-create each box with the girls in the club. Their feedback isn’t just welcomed, it’s built into the process. After every box, we ask what they liked, what th

At Fearless Girls Club, every session begins with a collaborative club doodle on a long roll of paper reaching across the hall. As the girls arrive, they contribute to this shared artwork, sitting and doodling together from the moment they walk into the room. We add to the same piece of artwork together every week, ending up with a huge piece of collaborative creativity to display at the end of the year! We have just started our own Fearless Girls Club playlist of the girls’

At Fearless Girls Club, we believe in the power of affirmations. Every week, we start and end our sessions by saying our club’s affirmations together, encouraging different girls to lead them: I am brave, I am bold, I am fearless! Affirmations aren’t empty words, they’re tools that help develop confidence, resilience and self-worth. You might feel a bit silly at first, but you should give it a try – we bet it soon makes you feel more confident and energised! What Are Affirmat
