“The Fowler Smith and Jones Trust has offered grant support to Get Set Girls four times. The Trustees were impressed at their programmes encouraging girls from deprived backgrounds to attain their full potential. The variety of projects (healthy eating, lifestyle and music projects) have shown a holistic and interesting approach to complex issues. Also, the organisation has always been excellent in their quality of applications and also in their reporting back to the Trustees as to how the grant has been used.”

“We chose to partner with Get Set Girls because the Study Programmes they offer enable learners to gain the skills and qualifications they need to progress into specific sector-based training or employment. Also, their exciting combination of vocational and personal development programmes are designed to equip learners with values, attitude and behaviour for sustainable employment. They encourage learners to take a responsible and conscientious attitude to their own work and study and work hard to ensure that each individual student achieves her personal ambitions. It is clear that success at Get Set Girls hinges on the level of personal commitment and the motivation to do well.”

“We have funded Get Set Girls’ participative theatre projects and healthy living programmes over the past twelve years. Their projects have always been satisfactorily delivered with effective and evaluative reporting and their funding has always been satisfactorily accounted for. Get Set Girls always provide good quality and participative provision which addresses a real need in the community.”
