girls rock london
Girls Rock London (GRL) is an award-winning charity based in Hackney. We provide
high-quality music programming for young and adult women, trans, and non-binary
people, with a specific focus on increasing access for people who face barriers
to participation. Our vision is of a world where girls, women, trans, and
non-binary people are powerful and can achieve their potential. Our mission is
to amplify their voices through music-making and community-building. Our
programmes are aimed at complete beginners as well as experienced musicians, and
we work closely with community partners to respond to the needs of young people
experiencing multiple and intersecting disadvantage. We aim to demystify
music-making, challenge gender inequality in the music industry and wider
society, and provide safe, nurturing and joyful environments in which people can
develop musically, personally and socially. We are active members of the Girls
Rock Camp Alliance, a international network of youth-centered arts and social
justice organisations.
