Our Random Acts of Kindness Campaign – Gifted Women 💫

Our most recent Random Acts of Kindness nomination is…Gifted Women!✨

We’re proud to support the incredible work of Gifted Women, a charity that empowers women facing significant life challenges by helping them rebuild confidence and find pathways into employment. We deeply admire their commitment to creating opportunities for women to thrive 💓

As a small gesture of appreciation, we donated a selection of our Probiotic Kefir Lotions to the fantastic team at Gifted Women – a small thank you to the dedicated staff and volunteers who work so hard to support others every day.

Here is what they say:

“Many women across the UK are caught up in a cycle of addiction, homelessness and contact with the criminal justice system, facing a lack of opportunities and often a history of trauma and abuse at the foundation. Even when working hard to break the cycle, women can struggle to find work and support to reach their full potential. Gifted Women creates space for women to ignite a spark and forge a fresh pathway. We recognise that employment, training and further education can be key factors in lasting change and seek to journey with women as they progress into these opportunities.  

Women in Plymouth, (Devon) and surrounding areas can self refer or can be referred to us by organisations across the city to take part in a trauma-informed programme of employability training and confidence building spanning up to 18 months. Our group work programme is a journey of discovery and personal growth for each woman, where she can set her own individual goals and work towards them in a supportive environment where both peers and practitioners are there to cheer her on.

As a key part of our employability programme, we link up with local employers to provide meaningful work experience placements which are tailored to women’s strengths and ambitions, enabling women to put all their learning into practice and experience being part of a team.

We know that loneliness and isolation are commonly felt amongst women we work with, and so we provide lots of social opportunities to build confidence and grow women’s support network. This includes a weekly drop in group for our community where women can meet others, have fun, build confidence and access support.

Our aim is to see women thriving in employment or be enrolled in further education and this is achieved in the woman’s own time and at a pace that feels realistic and sustainable. We are privileged to journey with women through the ups and downs along the way.”

A huge thank you to the incredible team at Gifted Women for their dedication and hard work in empowering women every day 👑
