This Is Me is a five week programme designed for school girls. The programme champions individuality, encourages girls to recognise their own greatness and challenges gender expectations. This Is Me has been co-created with the input from Lancashire school nurses, teachers and the girls themselves!
We have been listening to local girls to learn what it's like growing up in 2026, here's what they told us:
75%
Say they feel they should act a certain way to "fit in"
55%
Say they act less clever to go unnoticed
83%
Would like to feel more confident
