Thank you (and Happy Birthday!) to Bev and AbacusBean for choosing to make such a positive difference to the lives of young people through the AbacusBean birthday celebrations!

As the named partner for her birthday event at Ninja Warrior UK, Bev’s fantastic fundraising efforts have helped us raise enough to support another school on our programme!
What an amazing birthday gift!

Thanks to Bev’s generosity and support, even more young people will have the opportunity to benefit from our work, helping us to build confidence and create brighter futures.

We’re incredibly grateful to Bev for helping make this possible. And, of course, we’d like to wish her a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY and thank her for turning her special occasion into something that will have a lasting impact on others.

But, we need more people like Bev!

There are so many ways individuals and organisations can get involved with POW and support our mission from taking part in our programmes and organising fundraising events to team challenges and donations. Every contribution, big or small, helps us reach more young people and make a real difference.

We’ve been powering up behind the scenes… and now we’re LIVE!

We’re so excited to finally share our brand-new Power of Women website with you.

We’ve been busy behind the scenes building a fresh new home for all things POW, bringing together our work in schools, our PoWwow networking events, the brilliant community around us and all the ways you can get involved.

Curious about what we do? Want to get involved? Ready to be part of the POW community? Head over to our new website and take a look around! (link in comments)

Thank you to The Digital Gene for their support with this project.

What does an equal future look like for girls across the Tees Valley? And what are we doing to make it happen?

To mark International Day of the Girl, we’re reflecting on the difference we’re making at Power of Women and why our work matters now more than ever.
Over the past year, we’ve reached more than 2,000 children and young people across 29 schools, appointed 100 Primary School Equality Ambassadors and worked with incredible business partners to bring learning to life beyond the classroom.

We’ve seen young people grow in confidence, challenge stereotypes and stand proudly in boardrooms, sharing their ideas directly with business leaders.
And with 96% of participating schools reporting a positive impact, we know these opportunities are making a difference.

But there’s still work to do.
We want every young person to feel that their ambitions are valid, their voice matters and their future isn't limited by their background or gender.

In our latest newsletter, we explore the impact of our work, why equality matters and how you can help us reach even more young people.

Could you be part of the next chapter?
Whether you're a business looking to support a school, a professional willing to share your career journey, or someone who wants to help create more opportunities for young people, we'd love to hear from you.

A quarter of a million UK children are now growing up in households where no adult has ever worked.

According to the latest ONS data, 252,000 children were living in “never-worked” households in Q2 2026, the highest level recorded in 13 years.

For POW, this matters.

We believe every child should have the opportunity to see what is possible beyond the circumstances they grow up in.

Through our work with schools, employers and inspirational partners, we give young people opportunities to experience the world of work, meet people from different careers, develop confidence and broaden their horizons.

Because sometimes, you can’t imagine a future you’ve never had the opportunity to see.

That’s why POW exists to open doors, create opportunities and help young people see a future they can be part of.

🌟 Could you be a POW Role Model?

You don’t need to have an extraordinary job or an extraordinary story to inspire a young person.💥

Our POW Role Models help young people see what’s possible by sharing their experiences, career journeys, challenges and the lessons they’ve learned along the way.

By giving a little of your time, you could help a young person discover a career they didn’t know existed, challenge a stereotype they’ve grown up with, or simply give them the confidence to think bigger about their future.✨

We’re always looking for people from different industries, backgrounds and career paths to get involved.
