Smart Works Reading is delighted to announce its winter fundraising event, Standing Tall: An Evening with Olympic Medallist Victoria Thornley, taking place on Wednesday 27th November at the prestigious Leander Club in Henley-on-Thames.

Victoria, who won silver for Great Britain with Katherine Grainger in the women’s double sculls at the 2016 Summer Olympics, will share her remarkable journey of personal transformation. Her story – from facing rejection for being “too tall” to achieving Olympic glory and business success – perfectly embodies Smart Works Reading’s mission of empowering women to overcome obstacles and achieve their goals.

This exclusive evening promises to be both inspiring and entertaining. Guests will enjoy:

• A welcome glass of fizz
• Exclusive shopping featuring new-with-tags womenswear from premium brands
• Carefully curated preloved treasures
• Exciting raffle prizes and auction items
• Luxury goody bag worth £45

We’re grateful to Leander Club for generously gifting their beautiful event space for the evening.

Tickets are now available. Book your place at here [LINK] or visit our Instagram page @smartworksrdg for more information.

All proceeds support Smart Works Reading’s work providing free interview coaching and clothing to unemployed women across Berkshire, Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire.
