Friends of GBM
Everything we do is free for children and families. Friends of GBM is how it stays that way.
Become a FriendAlmost a Decade of Service
Our story began in 2017 with Le RDV des Worshipers, a programme dedicated to worship. Then in 2021, in the middle of the pandemic, we launched GBM Kidz to fight boredom and loneliness and protect our children’s mental health. From online holiday camps to the launch of our first in-person holiday camp in August 2024, we have never stopped growing.
Almost a decade serving the Francophone community with love, passion and sheer determination — and everything has stayed free for children and families. Always.
Today we are entering a new phase of our growth: holiday camps every Easter and summer, our Creative Academy, youth mentoring for ages 15–25, Gym & Praise for women, Something Christmassy every December, and GBM FEST — the UK’s first African Francophone Gospel Festival. To carry this vision, we need you.
