The GRoW Project is an inspirational course for women who hope to return to the workplace, often after a period of caring responsibilities. It focuses on confidence building, self-belief, entrepreneurship and realising aspirations.

I found your course interesting, helpful, motivational and inspiring. I felt you presented it wonderfully and I feel I have gained lots of ideas on the wellbeing side and the venue was good as well.

What is GRoW?

GRoW aims to create a welcoming environment for women to feel respected, empowered and inspired to make positive changes for themselves, with three main outcomes:

1. GRoW is about making people feel comfortable with themselves, with each other and in being able to participate. Participants think about their life now, the skills they have and possible futures.
2. GRoW helps people to think about their personal motivation for a job, identifying individual career drivers, the tools needed to get a job including filling in application forms, CV writing and interview skills.
3. GRoW gives people confidence to plan for the future and the resilience to face setbacks. This includes thinking about setting up their own business. The participants develop an action plan & identify who can help them with next steps.

As part of the programme, each participant will be offered a 1:1 session or support via email to focus on their individual needs.

Who it’s for

GRoW is aimed at women, aged 16+ years.

Length of course

Each course runs for one day per week for six weeks.

Why get involved?

Hear from some of our previous participants:

This course is really helpful! It helped me better understand myself. The sessions were interesting and inspiring, time flew by unnoticed. Now I know how to find time for myself and add more positivity to my life. I discovered my strengths and realised what I still need to work on. And I've come to understand that self-development is an exciting journey! I'm very satisfied with the course and recommend it to everyone who wants to grow and develop. Thank you, Cassida!

The course was exceptionally well organised. It was truly inspiring and enriching to listen to and share our ambitions, skills, strengths, and weaknesses with others. This exchange allowed us to discover more about ourselves and identify our true goals and aspirations. It provided a supportive environment where we could reflect on our paths and gain the confidence to continue our journey with renewed clarity and purpose. 
I loved the activities, especially the vision board! It was a fantastic way to visualise our goals and aspirations. Including more interactive activities like this one would be highly beneficial. The timing was excellent, allowing sufficient time for everyone to speak and for all topics to be covered without feeling rushed. Your choice of room in the library was perfect, providing a comfortable and conducive environment for our discussions. 
I appreciate your time and your attentive listening to each one of us. Your insights and advice have been incredibly valuable. 
P.s. It's truly amazing to start your day with something that improves it. Thank you so much for telling us about "The Blue Water."

How to get involved

It was wonderful to witness the increased confidence in the participants & the group dynamic of respect and support. The vision board session was a highlight and the women shared the powerful impact it had on bringing clarity on their goals and desires.
