Our investment themes

building_skills_development_icon_rgbBuilding skills and confidence

Learning new skills will give women the ability and certainty to return to the workplace. An increase in confidence and skills will allow them to reach their full potential in all areas of their lives.


improving_health_wellbeing_icon_rgbImproving health and wellbeing

Improving health and well-being will raise self-confidence, increase energy and concentration levels. In Scotland, a woman who lives in a less deprived area can live up to 7.5 years longer than a woman who comes from a more deprived area.


moving_on_violence_icon_rgbMoving on from abuse

Cruelty, emotional and physical abuse causes women to lose confidence and self-esteem and become isolated. Emotional and practical support services are vital in integrating women back into society and enabling them to move forward.


building_social_networks_icon_rgbGrowing social connections

Bringing girls and women together creates support networks which can reduce loneliness and isolation. Single parents or those who are living in rural and social isolation can create strong friendships by meeting others who are going through similar experiences.


Developing Leadership and innovation

Encouraging women and girls into leadership roles across society is an effective way to acheive long-lasting systemic change in Scotland. Diversity benefits us all. Whilst supporting innovation means groups by and for women and girls can test new solutions to current needs.
