Our Mission and Vision
Who We Are
Fly Girl Foundation CIC is more than a grassroots organisation — we are a movement built on lived experience, resilience, and the unshakable belief that every girl deserves the chance to rise. Founded by Rhia Canady, a woman who has turned personal adversity into purpose, we stand beside vulnerable and at-risk young women and girls, offering a path from survival to self-empowerment.
Through trauma-informed workshops, mentorship, and community support, we create safe spaces where women are seen, heard, and uplifted. We understand the impact of trauma, neurodiversity, and the weight of labels — and we reject the idea that anyone should be defined by their past. Instead, we focus on healing, growth, and possibility.
At Fly Girl, we’re not just helping women rebuild — we’re helping them soar.
From Prison Pay to Purpose-Driven Leadership
This is me, Rhia Canady—founder and CEO of Fly Girl Foundation—standing in the very gym at Eastwood Park Prison where I once worked for £2.40 a day. Just 15 months after my release, I returned not as a number, but as a leader, mentor, and changemaker. This moment captures more than a full-circle journey—it represents resilience, transformation, and the mission behind Fly Girl: to empower women to rise from adversity, reclaim their stories, and lead lives of purpose and power. I am living proof that healing is possible, and through Fly Girl, I’m here to walk that path with others.
