Working Chance

At Working Chance, we believe no woman should be held back by her past.

Since 2009, we’ve supported thousands of women with convictions to develop the confidence, self-belief and skills they need to succeed in the world of work and get their life on track. Employment is about more than just an income - it means the opportunity to show what you're good at and be appreciated, to have a shared purpose with others and to have structure in your daily life.

We work with employers of all sizes and in all sectors across the country to find opportunities for women that match their skills, aspirations and needs.  Last year we supported 262 women to improve their employability, supporting them into 82 work or volunteering placements

"I am who I am today because of Working Chance. It helped me to develop my selfesteem and to believe in myself once more. It was a second lifeline. Genuine women with all the good intentions to support women in their darkest hour.” Kate, Working Chance client
Your donation to Working Chance will support more women like Kate to have the opportunities they need to thrive. 

  • A donation of £10 could enable a woman’s keyworker to regularly check in with her and her new employer, to make sure she is happy and supported in her new role
  • A donation of £30 could help a woman to prepare a strong disclosure for potential employers, enabling them to walk into job interviews with confidence
  • A donation of £50 could mean more women get to attend our career coaching workshops, gaining crucial peer support from other women who have been through the justice system.
