Smart Works has been helping women transform their lives through employment since 2013. By providing high‑quality interview clothing and one‑to‑one coaching, we help women unlock the confidence, self-belief and practical skills they need to succeed at a job interview. More than 10,000 women have walked through our doors, and at least 68% have gone on to secure a job.

But the need is growing. With unemployment rising, women are facing tougher barriers than ever. Many tell us their confidence has taken a sharper hit, and on average they apply for 42 jobs before reaching Smart Works. In this climate, our service isn’t just relevant — it’s essential.

To raise vital funds for our service, we are challenging our fantastic community to walk 10,000 steps every day from 1-10 May. We’re creating change and want you to join us. Your support will make a huge difference to our work, providing real support to unemployed women across the UK.  Every step helps fund confidence, clothing and coaching for women facing the greatest barriers to work.
