Our Leaders & Uniform

In Girls’ Brigade we rely on our incredible team of volunteers to provide the range and quality of activities that we seek to offer girls within our local communities.

Girls' Brigade NI would like to express our deep gratitude for all the time, energy and passion that our leaders freely give week after week, year after year to serve in GB to raise hope in the lives of so many girls and young women in Northern Ireland and further afield. We are so thankful for their commitment to continually reached out to girls and young women to share the gospel and help make a difference to each of their lives.
