Celebrating 10 years of Smart Works Scotland
Ten years ago this summer, Smart Works first opened its doors in Edinburgh with the mission of using the power of high-quality clothing and one-one coaching to help unemployed women get the job and transform their lives.
Since then we’ve grown the number of women we support to over 1,000 per year, we’ve had over 100 volunteers join our community, we’ve opened a brand-new centre in Glasgow, and we’ve seen 69% of women we see go on to get the job.
Now it’s time to celebrate!
We’re so excited to announce that we’ve planned an amazing series of 10th anniversary events in Edinburgh and Glasgow to mark this incredible milestone.
First in the series is ‘A Midsummer’s Evening of Fashion & Confidence with John Lewis’ in Edinburgh on Wednesday 26th June from 5.30pm-7.30pm where we’ll be joined by two very special guest speakers, transformational life coach, Hannah Buchan and personal stylist Laura Russell from Satisfashion.
You can expect:
A glass of fizz on arrival
John Lewis stylists presenting seasonal looks to take you into summer
Make up demonstrations from professional Bobbi Brown make-up artist Aimee Morrison
A prize draw to win a fabulous John Lewis hamper worth £500
Shopping from our Smart Works rails and John Lewis rails
