\n Smart Works Leeds provides support for women searching for employment. As well as identifying job opportunities which match their skill set, the team provides coaching for women, and a confidence[1]boosting interview outfit chosen from its extensive wardrobe of brand new and donated clothing.\n<\/p>\n
\n When Smart Works\u2019 clients are successful in securing a role, it provides selection of clothing, helping women to feel comfortable in their first month and ease the initial cost of purchasing work clothes.\n<\/p>\n
\n LNER’s customer investment fund will help the charity to deliver its transformational service, resulting in the majority of Smart Works clients finding employment within a month. The demand is such that the team is preparing to move to bigger premises in Leeds, which will include an LNER-sponsored dressing room, along with spaces sponsored by other local businesses.\n<\/p>\n
\n Lottie Roberts, Outreach and Communications Manager at Smart Works Leeds, said: \u201cWe are thrilled to have the support of LNER, which has invested in our service through its Customer and Community Investment Fund. As a strong supporter of our work, we are excited to continue our partnership over\u00a0 the years to come.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
\n Rachael Wilson, Community Investment Manager at LNER, said: \u201cThe support Smart Works Leeds provides is life changing. The fact that two thirds of the women the team works with go on to secure a job within a month reflects the real value of the service. LNER is incredibly proud to play a part in Smart Works Leeds ever growing success and the difference the team makes to people\u2019s lives.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
