ABOUT THE ORGANIZATION

We are an educational charity for women and girls, based in London. Inspired by Catholic Social Teaching in response to local needs, we address Adverse Childhood Experiences and Adverse Community Environments such as poor housing conditions, homelessness, lack of language and basic skills, and other barriers that can prevent our 800+ women and girls and their families from thriving. The services we have developed with and for our clients focus on education, training, and employability skills to enhance confidence and self-esteem, raise aspirations and provide opportunities and networks to improve the lives of the women and girls whom we serve. Our education and support programmes are flexible services tailored to the needs of the local community. All projects combine education with one-to-one mentoring. Social mobility mentoring is a science-based intervention that gives women and girls the tools to identify and overcome their specific challenges and improve their life chances. Our relational, trauma-informed and professional approach ensures women and girls recognise their worth and take concrete steps to build a bright future for themselves, their families and their communities.
