Step Up for Smart Works 2025
For many women, getting a job is a lifeline. It is a chance to escape poverty, gain financial stability and restore confidence. In the shadow of the cost of living crisis, there is an intensified need for the Smart Works service.
Smart Works is a UK charity that dresses and coaches unemployed women for their job interview. They give women the confidence they need to reach their full potential, secure employment and transform their lives. In the last year, 63% got a job within a month of their appointment.
SW Scotland & Friends is a team of Smart Works Scotland staff, trustees, volunteers and our friends!
Between 1st and 31st of March, we will each be walking 10,000 steps a day to raise vital funds for Smart Works Scotland. Please do sponsor our team if you can. We will be Stepping Up for Smart Works and would appreciate every pound you are able to give to support our cause, helping women connect with their potential, get the job and change their lives.
