The grant will contribute to the cost of delivering the New Beginnings project including a team leader, development coach and a skills coach (£4161.19); PVG membership costs (£120); activity costs including student registration, project materials, community engagement, refreshments and travel (£2850); publicity (£150) and a contribution to overheads including HR, Payroll, IT, property, insurance, health & safety (£638.13).

They will be supported to attend tutor supported classes, CBT based group therapy, opportunities to build new skills and confidence and take part in social opportunities to cook, eat together and get out and about in their local community. They estimate that 30 women will benefit from the project.
