Building career prospects for women

The Women with Wings project helps women that don’t speak English as their first language to share enterprise ideas.

The group was established through support from ForViva’s Don’t Keep it Under Your Hat business support programme. It’s proved a huge success, connecting local mums with organisations that give them the support to make their business dreams a reality whilst fitting around their childcare commitments. Group founder Jasmin Bakhre said, “We found mums that weren’t engaging with enterprise support programmes because they weren’t. We wanted to help them better understand how they could take their ideas to the next level and find sustainable employment .”
