How to Join

You are welcome to join at any time throughout the year, although you will benefit most if you are able to join at the start of the GFS season which typically runs from September to April/May the following year.

In response to the local circumstances, GFS Branches meet weekly, fortnightly or monthly and can meet in a local Parish Hall, School or ‘on- line’ where wi-fi service permits.

GFS is a great way to meet new friends and where dignity of every human being is respected. Members can participate and engage in our exciting and varied programmes based locally, nationally and internationally.

GFS as an organisation provides a ministry to girls in a safe and accepting environment where Christ’s love is evident.
