In Conversation with Alison Akinrinlola: Lunch & Fashion Sale at Chapter

Join us in the heart of Edgbaston Village for an afternoon of shopping high street and designer brands at discounted prices, enjoy a 2-course lunch and hear from guest speaker Alison Akinrinlola on Wednesday 3 June to support women into work in the Midlands.

Alison Akinrinlola is a former England netball player, coach, and sports entrepreneur from the West Midlands. Alison is also Founder of the Birmingham Panthers and Founder of Netball Aid. Interviewing Alison will be Scarlett Allen-Horton, a multi- award-winning recruitment entrepreneur, BBC Apprentice finalist, founder of Harper Fox Search Partners and Ambassador for Smart Works Birmingham.

This event will raise funds for Smart Works Birmingham, a UK charity which supports unemployed women to get the clothing, coaching and confidence they need to get the job and transform their lives. We are proud that 69% of women who walk through our doors secure a job within 1 month of their visit: this truly is Fashion as a Force for Good.

With the option to book a table of 10 x spaces, why not bring your colleagues and enjoy an afternoon as a team? It's a wonderful opportunity to show your support for Smart Works and network with other West Midlands based businesses.
