Story
We are a team of SWGM trustees and volunteers who are taking up the challenge of cycling at least 500 miles between us in 8 days starting on Friday 28th February 2020 as part of the Spin for Smart Works event.
We are raising much-needed funds so Smart Works Greater Manchester can continue to deliver our life-changing service, helping women in need with high quality interview clothes and interview training, as well as the confidence and self-belief they need to secure a job and start a new chapter in their life.
Since opening in 2015 we have supported more than 1750 women across Greater Manchester, nearly half of whom were lone parents, a third from ethnic minorities and 19% had a disability.
Our simple intervention helps these women succeed. In 2019, 89% of the women we supported secured the job following their engagement with SWGM, despite the fact that over half had been unemployed for more than a year and 23% had already applied for over 20 jobs.
With your support we can help even more women across Greater Manchester. To find out more about our work visit https://smartworks.org.uk/manchester-smart-works
