Schools Project

As part of our Women and Money programme we engaged with Harborne Hill School in Birmingham and West Midlands Police with a revolutionary mentoring project. Senior Police Officers met with a group of school girls several times to break down stereotypes and inspire the youngsters.

“We can't tell you how powerful the project has been and what an impact it has had - so let’s find some time, dates/opportunities to discuss further and build on what is a great idea before taking it further afield” West Midlands Police.
