Girls! Make Your Mark

Girls! Make Your Mark is a campaign to inspire more young women to have ideas and make them happen.

Fewer women start their own business than men but this is not due to a lack of skills, instead it is often due to women being more considered and cautious than their male counterparts. Girls! Make your Mark aims to change attitudes to business and provides young women and girls with inspiring role models who can show them that business might be for them after all.

Girls! Make Your Mark is part of Spark - the women’s enterprise ambassadors network.
