WEvolution

With @UniStrathclyde, we delivered a pilot that empowered women transitioning from the criminal justice system to reintegrate into society through entrepreneurship. The funding was used to train + support 26 women, including 13 from Lilias Centre, Glasgow: bit.ly/4eg23u3

The 'entrepreneurship vehicle' in Scotland risks always facing one direction - away from the masses at the bottom of the pyramid. We believe that Scotland's future growth story will emerge from this untapped potential. #peripheralpower bit.ly/3z1dbLn

Great article by @WEScotland in @TheScotsman and @ScotBizNews on supporting female entrepreneurs! We agree but also believe it's crucial that the infrastructure faces the masses of women with untapped potential. Our Director's 3 recommendations: bit.ly/3z1dbLn @Matsnoel

Gabby: "The main drive for starting my business was I had physical and mental health challenges that meant standard employment for me was not going to work. I needed to have something to be passionate about in work." #PeripheralPower

"I was raising a family and I was a mum, a wife and I wanted to be Shabana again. By the second week with WEvolution, I don't know, something kind of got me thinking, "my goodness, I can actually do something." #PeripheralPower

“When we invest in women at the periphery, we ignite a powerful ripple effect that transforms families, communities + broader economy. This event is a celebration of the limitless potential of women who have often been overlooked.” @SarahPDavidson WEvolution Chair of Trustees

Here with @WEvolutionUK today to learn about Female Entrepreneurship at the Periphery #AWeeSpark #PeripheralPower and was delighted to meet a talented woman delivering work for another of our grant partners!

ENORMOUS congratulations, Vicki! 💐Love, the #meetsavecreate community and WEvo Team x

@CEO_CarnegieUK From all of us here, the biggest of congratulations on your award, Sarah! We hope you enjoyed every moment.

It’s been two years since I left the civil service but today I collected my CB for public service at Windsor Castle on a very special day spent with my nearest and dearest.❤️

What happens if people have finance and support to back themselves? 📢Find out on 7 March at 10am. 🔗bit.ly/35CPjix ❤️Aimed at anyone within community development or just passionate about the potential of people #LevellingUp #microfinance #peerled #srgs

Interested? Join the conversation- we'd love to see you there. #microfinance #meetsavecreate #selfreliantgroups

We support people to start small but powerful peer-led groups that generate connections and capital for its members. SRGs meet, save, rotate leadership, & often go on to create products & services in their local communities. SRGs are a place for people to realise their potential

Can you help us facilitate the start up of Self-Reliant Groups? Get involved in our Taster Session on Tuesday, November 30th from 10am - 1pm if you're a community changemaker looking to empower people to help themselves. eventbrite.co.uk/e/201671684437

"Will joining an SRG and testing an idea affect my benefits?" We think it's so important that people understand their possibilities, not just the limitations. #TalkMoneyWeek Our guide: bit.ly/30kZMga #universalcredit #srg #whoknew #financialinclusion

We all learn from our failures but why do we not apply this same mantra to our work in the third-sector? @pamelamarieshaw has been talking with us about encouraging SRG members to take risks and why we should view failure as a learning opportunity. 👇 wevolution.org.uk/viewing-failur…

What is a Self-Reliant Group? @WEvolutionUK are running some training - check out details here: eventbrite.com/e/peer-to-peer…
