What is a Self-Reliant Group? WEvolution are running some training - check out details here: eventbrite.com/e/peer-to-peer…

We all learn from our failures but why do we not apply this same mantra to our work in the third-sector? Pam Shaw has been talking with us about encouraging SRG members to take risks and why we should view failure as a learning opportunity. 👇 wevolution.org.uk/viewing-failur…

"Will joining an SRG and testing an idea affect my benefits?" We think it's so important that people understand their possibilities, not just the limitations. #TalkMoneyWeek Our guide: bit.ly/30kZMga #universalcredit #srg #whoknew #financialinclusion

“When we invest in women at the periphery, we ignite a powerful ripple effect that transforms families, communities + broader economy. This event is a celebration of the limitless potential of women who have often been overlooked.” Sarah Davidson WEvolution Chair of Trustees

"I was raising a family and I was a mum, a wife and I wanted to be Shabana again. By the second week with WEvolution, I don't know, something kind of got me thinking, "my goodness, I can actually do something." #PeripheralPower

Gabby: "The main drive for starting my business was I had physical and mental health challenges that meant standard employment for me was not going to work. I needed to have something to be passionate about in work." #PeripheralPower

Great article by Women's Enterprise Scotland in The Scotsman and Scottish Business News on supporting female entrepreneurs! We agree but also believe it's crucial that the infrastructure faces the masses of women with untapped potential. Our Director's 3 recommendations: bit.ly/3z1dbLn Noel Mathias

The 'entrepreneurship vehicle' in Scotland risks always facing one direction - away from the masses at the bottom of the pyramid. We believe that Scotland's future growth story will emerge from this untapped potential. #peripheralpower bit.ly/3z1dbLn

With University of Strathclyde, we delivered a pilot that empowered women transitioning from the criminal justice system to reintegrate into society through entrepreneurship. The funding was used to train + support 26 women, including 13 from Lilias Centre, Glasgow: bit.ly/4eg23u3
