Rubies
What They Do
Rubies is a Middlesbrough-based charity committed to empowering girls and young women by helping them recognise their value, build confidence, and develop resilience. Founded in 2017 in response to a report highlighting the challenges faced by girls in the area, Rubies provides trauma-informed support through school-based programmes, youth work, and counselling services. The charity works with over 300 girls each year, offering safe spaces and positive role models to inspire growth and self-belief. Named after the precious gem formed under pressure, Rubies believes every girl is valuable, no matter her background or circumstances.
