Story
After the success of last year's fundraising, international law firm Osborne Clarke is teaming up again with Smart Works and taking part in the charity's week-long spin challenge.
In celebration of International Women's Day (8 March), Osborne Clarke is pedalling through the ultimate spin challenge, raising much-needed funds to help Smart Works' clients to transform their lives. By going the extra mile in spinning, team building and fundraising, Osborne Clarke is helping Smart Works provide unemployed women across the UK with the clothes, coaching and confidence to get back into work.
Smart Works has helped over 15,000 women through its award-winning interview clothing and coaching service. After a visit to Smart Works, 64% of women get the job within a month. Spinning for Smart Works means more women across the UK will feel encouraged, connected and empowered.
Osborne Clarke is proud to be part of the Smart Works community and to spin for Smart Works in 2020.
