Realise
Employment & enterprise skills for women who are unemployed/low-paid work or ready to make a career change.
"Before joining The Sowing Club, I was feeling really low with no confidence and I could barely leave the house. Working alongside the other women on the course, helped me to focus on myself ... I feel I can accomplish anything!
Start
The Roots and Shoots is a start-up course for those who are ready to start a business.
"I've learnt a lot of things, particularly marketing; understanding your customer and understanding what you want to achieve. All of that really I didn't know where to start."
Grow
Bloom and Grow is a 12-month growth programme for women already running a business.
"Being a sole trader I found it hard to make unemotional decisions, but working alongside likeminded people, I feel I am in control of my destiny and business growth. [...] The Growing Club has been such a bonus to me."
