Can you help us raise £10,000 to
Smash Stereotypes? 


You can help Mia play without limits, because right now gender stereotypes are holding girls like her back from reaching their true potential.

Girls are being told that science is just for boys, that playing sports isn't for girls and that they can be nice, but not intelligent or brave. 

You can change this.

This International Women’s Day we have big plans to raise £10,000 to tackle harmful gender stereotypes.

From 12pm today until 12pm on Tuesday 15th March the Big Give will match fund every pound we raise. Meaning that your impact will be doubled and we will have £20,000 for our Equal Play project!


💪 £5 will turn into £10 so we can provide a digital resource kit for parents 

💪 £10 will turn into £20 so we can engage 1000s of people in a conversation about tackling stereotypes 

💪 £25 will turn into £50 for resource materials so children can play without limits 

And as our supporters, we need your help to shout about our exciting campaign and help us to reach our target of £20,000! 🤩 

You can help Mia grow up to be who she wants to be. Give now and your donation will be doubled.
