We are asked regularly by parents How they can get help.  So let’s look…

At SheInspires, our mission has always been clear—celebrating, empowering, and supporting women.

Women into Leadership – with Sandra McManus

Women into Leadership – with Sandra McManus

I started a ‘Women into Leadership’ programme at the Sixth Form Bolton five years ago. Why? Because I have always believed that the girls in our sixth form were disadvantaged in their preparation for next steps, and in particular for the ‘world of work’.
