As demand for our service grows, we are committed to supporting the thousands of women across Yorkshire that need our help. With that need in mind, we have a new home- a space that will allow us to support 100 women a week. Our new home accommodates a bigger wardrobe, a virtual dressing studio, space to host group workshops, and will allow us to offer a more accessible and inclusive service ⭐️

We have been working tirelessly to fundraise for the build of our new centre and with the support of our incredible network of supporters- businesses and individuals- we have made significant steps to do so 🎉

We are delighted to share that we are have moved into our new home this week! Our service opens today, from our new address: Floor 4, Mill 1, Mabgate Mills, Macaulay Street, Leeds, LS9 7DZ 🏡

We can’t wait to welcome clients, partners and supporters to our new space- stay tuned for our launch event! 🚀

As phase one our build comes to a close, we are continuing to fundraise so that we complete construction, and create a beautiful women’s centre to serve clients all across Yorkshire. There are numerous ways you can help us build our new, permanent home, link here to find out more:

One year ago we embarked on a special project to expand our services into Bradford. We set out with a goal in mind- to work with women in Bradford to build their confidence, supporting them to secure employment and change the trajectory of their lives.

As our first year draws to a close, we are delighted to share the progress of our project to date.

Our achievements include:
🚀 179 outreach engagements attended
🚀 32 group sessions delivered supporting 266 women
🚀 147 unique beneficiaries accessed our core service
🚀 39 women have got the job so far

Our project to reach communities in Bradford has been made possible thanks to funding provided by the Charitable Foundation. We would like to sincerely thank the Yorkshire Building Society Charitable Foundation for empowering us to bring Smart Works to Bradford. We would also like to give a huge shout out to our partners, who have welcomed us to Bradford and collaborated with us to bring value and support to their customers.

As move into our second year of the project, we will expand the reach and visibility of core service provision within Bradford, develop workshop offering and expand its remit and reach, pilot core service delivery within Bradford and more.

🎉 Masonmeh got the job! 🎉

When we met Masonmeh she was a year into her journey to find a job. One of the barriers for Masonmeh was not yet having work experience in the UK. She said that everything here was new for her- from the language, to the culture, the processes involved in looking for a job in the UK and more. She told us that she lost count of how many jobs she had applied for.

Masonmeh learned about Smart Works with her local library, who referred her to us.

She came to see us ahead of a brilliant opportunity- an interview to be a Graduate Engineer Geologist. After her appointment with Smart Works, she got the job!

Masonmeh said that 'a job for me means being in society and doing something meaningful.'

She added 'I am very much glad that I found you. Smart Works is a community helping women find their confidence. Smart Works is friendly, essential and supportive. This service is important because having more confident women in society makes the whole society a better place. In most cases, women need just a little push to fly.'

Masonmeh is pictured here, in the clothes she picked out at Smart Works ahead of her job start.

It was our honour to help you to fly, Masonmeh. Good luck! 🤩

🎉 Samantha got the job(s)! 🎉

Huge congratulations to our client Samantha, who has secured not one, but two jobs! One, a role in the NHS as a receptionist, and another an admin position.

We met Samantha after she was made redundant, when she joined a training course and one of our trusted partners referred her to us.

We helped Samantha ahead of her job interviews by providing interview clothing and coaching tailored to the jobs she was going for.

She said ‘the interview prep and clothes really lifted my spirits. I tried on things that I felt amazing and comfortable in. I cannot stop telling people about the amazing company for empowering me when I needed it. Smart Works is inspirational!’

Samantha told us that getting a job for her means ‘security and independence for myself and my son.’

Good luck Samantha! It was a privilege to be part of your journey back to work 🚀
