The most recent project that Girls' Brigade England & Wales has undertaken is "Arise". This project involves many different events such as roadshows etc. Arise is often quoted as standing for: '''A'''ctivities, '''R'''esources, '''I'''deas, '''S'''upport and '''E'''quipping. These mean that the children will be able to attend ''activity'' days to learn about Jesus and meet up with other GB members, they will also have ''resources'' adapted to meet the specific child's needs. Moreover, the ''ideas'' for activities will be new and made in a better way to encourage children, as well as ''supporting'' children with their work and helping to set up further youth groups. And the final idea of Arise is to train people to work with children so they are ''equipped'' for anything the children may do.<ref name=Arise>{{cite web|url=http://www.girlsbrigadeew.org.uk/html/arise.html|title=All information about Arise|accessdate=2007-03-13}}</ref> | The most recent project that Girls' Brigade England & Wales has undertaken is "Arise".
