This is ME ( This is how it should be)

We’re thrilled to announce that, thanks to Children in Need, our girls’ workshops will run until 2028! Following a successful pilot in 2024, these sessions are designed to help girls aged 10–14 explore self-love, body positivity, online safety, and future aspirations through creative journalling and group reflection.

Since Jan 2020 Compassionate Voices CIC has delivered nearly 60 transformative workshops called The Power of YOU for women, reaching over 500 participants. Rooted in inclusivity and guided by our “Power of YOU” philosophy, each workshop celebrates individuality and encourages girls to embrace who they are—building confidence, resilience, and connection.

This is Me aims to create a safe, empowering space where every girl feels seen, heard, and supported.

Compassionate Voices CIC have stringent safeguarding policies and procedures for the protection of young people and children and all facilitators have enhanced DBS with child/young peoples barred list. We also have credited NSPCC/CEOP Certificates for Child Protection, Keeping Children Safe Online, Managing Safer Online Communities and Safer Recruitment.
