We’re in the final year of the Smart Works Charity Three-Year Plan! 🚀

At the core of our Three-Year-Plan, is the aim to increase the number of women we support from 5,000 to 10,000 every year, allowing them to reconnect with their potential, get the job and transform their lives.

In our second year working towards this goal, we are proud to announce that we supported 8,221 clients.🌟

This was achieved through targeted outreach, strengthening key partnerships with organisations such as DWP, and refreshing our marketing materials to ensure our service is better understood. Our new digital referrer form has also made it quicker and easier to refer clients to Smart Works and resulted in the busiest year Smart Works has ever seen.

We’ve harnessed digital platforms to amplify our clients’ voices and made huge strides towards becoming better known and understood by the women we seek to support.

We launched our Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Strategy, with a focus on our work being client-centric. Through initiatives such as our Client Advisory Group, Client Champions and Client Forum, we’ve gathered valuable insights from the lived experiences of our clients. Their expertise will continue to guide our efforts to make our service more equitable, diverse and inclusive, enabling us to reach even more women and provide a high-quality service for everyone.

Smart Works has supported over 35,000 women since 2013. This has been possible because of the power of our dedicated and generous community, the beating heart of our charity. As we look forward to Year 3 of our Three-Year Plan, we are committed to delivering significant growth and innovation, as we strive towards our goal of helping 10,000 women this year. 💙
