Dear potential sponsor

Welcome to our empowerment network.  We hope you are inspired by the work we are doing to support people facing barriers to progression.

It is important to us that we are proactive to the developmental needs of our members and where possible work with local organisations to achieve our aims.

Recent research suggests that:

• 70% of women in Britain are dissatisfied with many aspects of their lives
• 1 in 4 of the population is suffering from some kind of mental health problem
• Women in business are failing because they can't deal with rejection

These are just some pieces of research that underpins the work we do.  

Our beneficiaries and the impact of our work

The women we are currently supporting are between the ages of 18 – 65 years who broadly fall within the following categories:

• Women facing barriers to progression and receiving other interventions within their locality (poor mental or emotional health, socially excluded – substance misuse rehabilitators, ex-offenders, lone parents)
• Women embarking on the personal development journey and need support, experiences and motivation to get started (Low waged, in unsuitable part time work or Incapacity Claimants with identified outcomes of employment, voluntary work or further learning)
• Women who have identified their own need to develop life resilience abilities (carers )
• Women who are suffering a loss of identity as a result of the many life transitions and are looking for a more fulfilling life (illness, addiction, carers)
• Socially isolated/vulnerable – (substantial length of time bringing up children/identity linked to that of being a mother, wife, home maker or BME community)
• Women who have self awareness and are already on the personal development journey and want to support others (Trainers and self employed holistic therapists)

The benefits to our clients are life changing.

• Newfound Confidence and Self Belief
• Transformation and Growth
• Improved Health and Wellbeing
• New friendships or work partnerships created
• Creation of new businesses
• Doing work that they love
• Positive role models and leaders
• Pathways created to further learning, training, employment and self employment
