Our Mission
We want any woman who needs our help to be able to find her way to a Smart Works centre.
We are proud of what we have achieved in ten years, but there is more work to be done.
Job interviews are difficult and a significant barrier to success. Without the necessary self-belief and practical tools, it is easy to become trapped in a cycle of failed interviews and unemployment.
The impact of the pandemic has heightened this and increased pressure to succeed at job interviews, meaning our support has never been more needed.
We believe in the power of clothes and coaching to transform a woman’s confidence. Our service is carefully designed, with kindness and respect at the heart of everything we do. It is about much more than the clothes she is gifted: it is about what the clothes allow each woman to become. When she looks in the mirror, she begins to see hope and possibility for a better future.
"In 10 years, we have helped over 35,000 women in 11 centres across the UK"
