Step Up for Smart Works 2026
Smart Works is a UK charity that dresses and coaches unemployed women for their job interview. They give women the confidence they need to unlock their potential, secure employment and transform their lives.
In the last year, 68% of clients who accessed Smart Works' support went on to secure employment.
Between the 1st and 10th of May, I will be Stepping Up for Smart Works. Every step helps fund confidence, clothing and coaching for women facing the greatest barriers to work. I would appreciate anything you are able to give to this important charity.

Wednesday 13th MayMental Health Awareness 2026
Theme – “Action,” encouraging a shift from awareness to meaningful, practical steps that support better mental health.
As women, we carry a constant mental load — performing at work, being a great mother, partner, managing the responsibilities of running a household, caring for loved ones, and navigating anything else life throws at us, all while trying to appear calm, capable, and strong.
Alongside this, many of us carry the pain of personal loss. I lost my mum to mental health four years ago, and whilst life continues, her absence quietly sits alongside everything I do. I describe the feeling as carrying a heavy backpack, at first feels unbearably heavy and hard to hold, but over time, even though it doesn’t get any lighter you learn to manage the weight and carry it with you.
One thing that has helped me protect my mental health is nature. Walking, running, fresh air, movement, and time outdoors create space to breathe. Nature doesn’t expect productivity. It allows reflection, grounding, and moments of calm when everything else feels loud.
That’s why I’ve chosen to take part in the Step-Up Challenge from 1st - 11th May in support of Smart Works — a charity that helps women build confidence and access employment through coaching, clothing, and support. Combining movement, purpose, and being outdoors feels like a meaningful way to support my own wellbeing while helping other women move forward.
Caring for your mental health isn’t about pushing through endlessly; it’s about slowing down, getting outside, and taking life one step at a time.
