TellwithSabrina CIC: Talk. Emotions. Love. Live (TELL)

The "Girl Glow" initiative extends our support to young women 14 to 25 and the #Women1st to women over 25, ensuring that their emotional health and well-being are prioritised as well. Through counselling, mentoring, engaging workshops and well-being activities, we provide valuable resources that empower women to connect with others and foster a sense of belonging.

Our mission is to create a vibrant community where every girl and woman can thrive. By addressing emotional well-being and mental health, we aim to uplift and inspire individuals to shine bright in their personal journeys. Join us as we work together to make a positive impact in the lives of girls and women in Birmingham.
