Story

We're participating in Spin for Smart Works, a week-long cycling challenge where teams join forces to collectively cycle 500 miles (the equivalent distance between the seven Smart Works centres), either on a road bike, gym bike or in a spin class. This is pedalling for a purpose,

Smart Works is a UK charity that provides high quality interview clothes and interview training to unemployed women in need. We harness the power of clothes and confidence to allow a woman to be her best at a crucial moment in her life, giving her the confidence, the self-belief and the practical tools required to succeed at interview and
transform her life.

Women are referred to us from organisations such as job centres, work programmes, prisons, care homes, homeless shelters and mental health charities. Half have been unsuccessful in over 20 applications.
A third have been turned down from over 50 jobs. All are suffering from a lack of confidence in their own abilities. We have a 60% plus success rate of getting women back to work!

We are raising money so that Smart Works can continue delivering their life-changing service and help more women with the confidence, self-belief and the practical tools they require to succeed at interview and start a new chapter of their life. With your support we can help them expand in these areas and open in new ones. For more information, visit www.smartworks.org.uk
