Become a Friend of Smart Works Reading

Because we all need friends who believe in us.

Think about your closest friend - the one who cheers you on before a big presentation, helps you choose the perfect outfit for an important occasion, or simply believes in you when you don't believe in yourself. That's exactly what Friends of Smart Works Reading do for unemployed women across our community.

Just like the best friendships, our support is consistent and reliable. Your monthly giving means we can promise to be there - month after month, woman after woman, year after year. Because real friends don't just show up when it's convenient; they're there when you need them most. With 67% of our clients securing employment within just one month, we know that friendship truly works.

£10, £20, £50 or £100 a month - whatever you can offer becomes part of something bigger. A community of friends who believe that every woman deserves someone in her corner.

“Our partnership with Smart Works is fundamental to our firm’s Responsible Business strategy. The longevity of our partnership is a testament to the quality of service provided by Smart Works and we look forward to supporting more women to enter the workforce by utilising our skills, time and resources across London and Newcastle."

Christine John, Interim Head of Responsible Business and Wellbeing EMEA at Norton Rose Fulbright LLP

Case study

Bobbi Brown Cosmetics x Smart Works

Bobbi Brown Cosmetics has stood proudly beside Smart Works for the last 10 years, providing invaluable support through the ‘Pretty Powerful’ partnership. Each year, Bobbi Brown Cosmetics produces a limited edition ‘Pretty Powerful’ product, with an extremely generous 100% of RRP from every sale donated to Smart Works.

‘Since the start of Bobbi Brown Cosmetics, the brand has always been about educating, empowering, and supporting women to be their best selves by enhancing their natural beauty. When you look your best, you feel your best and can give your best back into the community and society. This is why we are proud to support Smart Works, who embody this energy in everything that they do. We get more and more ambitious each year with Pretty Powerful because it is truly such a motivating mission. As we progress our partnership together, we are also working on more year-round activities to support this incredible charity and raise vital funds that have a tangible impact on so many women’s lives’.
