About us

Our vision is to create space and support for ALL Mums in the UK - irrespective of their past - to recognise their brilliance and build a financially secure future for themselves and their children. We believe no-one should ever feel excluded or forgotten in realising their potential.

Established in 2019, the Women’s Work Lab supports unemployed mums back into the workplace. Since then we have supported over 400 Mums across the South West back into work. Sixty one percent of our 2023 alumni are now working.

We know there is a hidden, talented, multiskilled workforce in our society that is being overlooked and underutilised. Our role is to professionally develop these ambitious women and empower them to shine.

Our programme is powerful. It was designed by women who understand business and motherhood, and have the expertise that know what is needed for the two to work harmoniously.

We train our women in a dynamic, stimulating, safe and encouraging environment that helps them to rediscover themselves, identify skills and barriers while building professional fortitude.

It’s more than theory, they make their mark undertaking a four week work placement, getting valuable experience and building their confidence. The women that complete our programme not only bring diverse perspectives and experiences that are important for business success, they are fully prepared and ready to excel in their chosen career.

Team WWL Graduates!

We are incredibly proud that seven of our team (Magda joined us in September 2024 hence not in this picture!) are Graduates of the Women’s Work Lab programmes. Their lived experience brings so much to the experience of Mums on our programme.
