Smart Works give unemployed women the clothes, coaching and confidence to succeed at job interview. 69% get the job within a month. At a time of exceptional need, we want to open an entirely new London centre, allowing more women to reconnect with their potential and transform their lives.

Situation
Smart Works exists to break the cycle of unemployment for women in disadvantaged circumstances. The pandemic has deepened inequality and had a devastating impact on female unemployment, disproportionately affecting women from ethnic minorities. This has affected the confidence and self-esteem of women who are rejected from multiple interviews and struggling to get a job. We know there are more women who need our help to start a new chapter of independence for themselves and their families.
Solution
The Smart Works service is transformational. Every woman benefits from a bespoke dressing consultation, a high-quality interview outfit (free and hers to keep) and one-to-one interview coaching. This equips her with the confidence and practical skills to overcome barriers to success. Our mission is for every woman to be able to access our service. To do this, we need to open a new hub in South London, enabling over 100,000 unemployed women to be within reach of the service.
