About This Event

Empowerment Self-Defence for Girls is scheduled for 5 September 2026 at St Anne's Church And Community Hall in Leicester. The workshop costs £14.00 and focuses on building confidence and safety awareness specifically for girls moving to secondary school. The session takes place in the morning with various instructors facilitating the training.

Feel more confident, aware and prepared for the move to secondary school with our friendly self-defence workshop, just for girls!

Help your daughter feel more confident, aware and prepared as she takes the next step from primary to secondary school.

Suitable for 11-12 yr olds, this friendly, age-appropriate course introduces self-defence in a sensitive and empowering way, giving girls practical tools to recognise risk, set boundaries and respond with confidence.

Through a mix of discussion, games, exercises and hands-on practice, participants will explore everyday situations including peer pressure, bullying, verbal harassment, online behaviour and more serious threats.

The focus is on building confidence, awareness and decision-making skills in a supportive environment.
