Now in its third year, Inspiring Females - founded at NHSG - has reached more than 1,000 girls.

The three days saw presentations, Q&A panels and workshops, as well as talks from Norfolk YouTube vlogger and make-up artist Sam Chapman.

One event, Be Social, saw teams coached by entrepreneurs to develop and pitch a social enterprise idea, while another day focused on mental health and wellbeing.

Kirsty Von Malaisé, NHSG headmistress, said the event was a 'powerful experience, an uplifting one, which I know has had a big impact on those who were there'.
