From Women Onto Work: Vote to help vulnerable Scottish women benefit form an RBS grant.
Please vote to help vulnerable Scottish women benefit from an RBS grant.
Through 'WOW Enterprise', 50 women will benefit from a three stage package to help them become their own boss. The £50K grant will fund a Self-development Programme, an exciting new Enterprise Award, and a Mentoring Programme with some of Scotland’s most inspiring women entrepreneurs. Participants will also get help with childcare, and access to micro-grants to help them get their business idea off the ground.
Many of our clients – including single mums, and women who are caring for a sick family member or living with health problems - can't land a great job in a labour market where flexible jobs are thin on the ground. But our clients have amazing skills and experience to offer, and there are exciting and viable opportunities out there – setting up as a self-employed child-minder, for instance.
With your help, this will happen! Please take a minute to vote for WOW by clicking on the link below.
Since 1989, Women Onto Work has helped more than 2,500 disadvantaged women reengage with the world, through work and enterprise.
For more information on what we do, please visit our website: www.womenontowork.org, where you can also join our mailing list to get WOW updates.
