This Christmas, thousands of young women in London's most deprived boroughs will hold their families together with no income or route into stable work. Working-class applicants are 32% less likely to get a job offer; for Black applicants the penalty is 45%, even with identical CVs. For a woman who is both working-class and Global Majority, the penalties stack. Each silent rejection deepens her debt, isolation and self-doubt. She faces January no closer to work, watching others celebrate.

Our free 16-week employability programme rebuilds what rejection stripped away. Group sessions across London's professional spaces build hard and soft career skills, backed by weekly one-to-one therapy and mentoring. Practical support includes wellness activities, travel bursaries and nutritious meals, alongside work experience and employer connections that open doors biased hiring has kept shut. Holistic by design: confidence, mental health and belonging matter as much as qualifications.
