Activities

We run a 6-month long You Make It holistic programme empowering young, unemployed and underemployed women, with the confidence, networks, skills, knowledge and experiences needed to break out of poverty into financially independent lives with reflect greater integration with the social and cultural life of their city. Beneficiaries are largely from Hackney and Tower Hamlets.

Objects: (1) For the public benefit, to advance the professional and personal development of East London’s young unemployed and underemployed women – in particular those from non-privileged backgrounds – so that they may enter into and retain meaningful employment. This is done, in particular, but not exclusively, by delivering holistic three to six month programmes either in person or online, which provide participants with:(a) information though interactive workshops, which are focused on developing skills to increase the participant’s employability and wellbeing;(b) advice about learning and earning opportunities through a mentoring programme; and(c) access to work experience and other “hands-on” experience in order to develop job-readiness.(2) For the public benefit, in order to promote racial equality, to design and deliver a programme of interactive anti-racism workshops called You Change It (“YCI”). YCI will principally be delivered (both in person and online) to the employees of other charities, companies and organisations, as well as to individuals, from all backgrounds. Funds raised by YCI will, in part, go back into financially supporting the work described in (1) above. The YCI workshops (the exact number and contents of which may be changed from time to time (therefore this list is not exclusive)) are:(a) story telling by those with lived experiences of being victims of racism (“The Stories Write Themselves”); (b) the history and science of racism and its impact on those living in the UK today(“From Then to Now”); (c) an understanding of what having privilege means and what not having it means (“Check Your Privilege”); (d) developing the confidence to challenge racism at work (“What Would You Say If…?”); (e) support to develop actions which lead to racial equity at work (“Activate Your Allyship”).
