Our Mission
00:16
Our mission is to empower women by supporting them to achieve their full potential; to encourage, enable and facilitate their active involvement in their life.
This is done by helping disadvantaged women to tackle isolation, and improve their life chances by providing opportunities for enterprise, self-employment, employability, new skills, community participation and improved lifestyle choices.
