‘Right at the beginning of founding FREEDOM 2, I wrote our mission and it is always at the core of our work. We want girls to be free, so they can reach their potential, feel empowered so they can then go on and pass it forward’ Mel Manning Founder of FREEDOM 2.

It’s so important that we champion and empower our peers and share our lessons learnt to help others in their journeys. It’s a wonderful thing to be able to pass this on #freedom2inspire #freedom2empower #liberate #enable #champion #community #mission

The day has arrived!! Our trailer for Season 1 of the podcast ‘For the 1’ is out today! The link is in our bio.

Why for the 1? Because we can all make a difference and reach out to help at least 1 person. It doesn’t require you to be qualified and you don’t need to be an expert. This podcast celebrates the stories of individuals and organisations that have seen a need and reached out. By helping the 1 they have been instrumental in making changes in their communities and beyond. Join us as we journey through their stories.

Each episode will be released on a Monday from next week. Please like, subscribe and share!

Thanks to our amazing team of young people behind the scenes:

Thank you also to @haslersuk for funding to allow us to do podcast training with @foldedwinguk who have been AMAZING support

Part of our vision at FREEDOM 2 is that ALL girls will know their WORTH and SIGNIFICANCE 🔥

Do you know that no matter what you do or whatever has happened to you that your worth cannot be taken away? It may sometimes feel like this, but your worth cannot be equalled to anything, not diamonds, gold or anything precious. Never forget this!! #selfworth #selfesteem #worth #significance #strength #freedom2inspire #freedom2empower #freedom2girls

BANK HOLIDAY WEEKEND is a perfect time to have a digital detox! Even if you just put your phone in the drawer for a day, so you can switch off.

Enjoy the sun, go for walks, enjoy time with friends/family or however you like to relax 💛💛 You won’t regret it! #detox #socialmedia #timeout #bankholiday #freedom2inspire #freedom2empower

I AM...
Can you think of 3 positive words to finish this sentence?

We love working with art journals and asking our beneficiaries to design their front cover with ‘I am..’

If you want to do this at home, all you will need is:
1. Plain journal
2. Colour paper (to cover front of journal)
3. Glue
4. Scissors
5. Letters ( or you can cut words out of magazines)

We would love to see what you come up with

We are told many things as women and girls about who we are, the way we should act and look, which is why it is so important that we know our WORTH and SIGNIFICANCE so that we can reject anything that goes against who we are 🔥 #worth #significance #freedom2empower #freedom2girls #freedom2inspire #thisisme #jameelajamil

You don’t have to be an artist to enjoy art. Since running our FREEDOM 2 Create art programme we have been amazed at how being creative helps with our beneficiaries wellbeing and mental health. Even girls who have initially said ‘I am rubbish at art!’

We are all creative in some way, it’s just finding what you enjoy 💛

What do you believe about yourself? Are they positive things?

If you struggle with this and tend to believe only negative things try and start journalling all the good things about you or practise saying affirmations to yourself out loud. It’s not always easy to do, so don’t be hard on yourself if you don’t find this a straight forward task. Our friends or family are sometimes good people to help us with this 💛💛 #oprah #freedom2empower #freedom2inspire #freedom2girls
