1st Haverhill Girls’ Brigade (GB) community group is a uniformed youth group for girls and young women from all backgrounds. It’s a safe environment where members can relate to one another, have fun, learn new skills, make a difference in their community, and discover more about the Christian faith. The GB group is an integral part of The Old Independent Church’s outreach into the community and wo

rks across 4 age categories - n:vestigate for 4-7s; n:gage for 8-11s; n:counta for 11-14s; and n:spire for 14-18s. We meet on Friday evenings during term time at the Old Independent Church, Haverhill. The n:vestigate and n:gage groups meet from 6.30-7.45pm and the n:counta and n:spire groups meet from 7.45-9.00pm. Our work is delivered, by trained volunteer leaders motivated by their faith, through provision of a structured weekly programme of activities. Members earn programme awards as well as taking part in additional activities such as fun days and residential events. Our programme is varied but recent topics have included looking at the members’ health and wellbeing including mental health, healthy eating, the importance of physical health, and the importance of rest. Our weekly activities enable girls and young women to grow and develop in confidence, resilience, wellbeing and life skills, whilst developing strong friendships, a sense of belonging, taking part in social action, and having great fun along the way.
