Because every woman deserves to be celebrated, we are supporting women in prison by empowering them with tools to unlock their potential and to build a better future.

According to People Management Magazine, - over half of employers (55%) would not be willing to hire someone with a conviction. The discrimination and stigma around hiring an ex-prisoner is still pervasive, which is why the Employment Network (SMEN) was formed.

It aims to connect women both currently in prison via Release-On-Temporary-License, and post-release with meaningful stable employment.

SMEN partners with employers, Probation services and prisons to create a structured pathway to employment. The key focus is also to educate employers and to challenge stigma around hiring women with convictions.

Out of all the questions bombarding women leaving prison - the most prominent one may be "What's Next?"

After such a period of time inside with people telling you what to do, or where to go - be it for a long sentence or a short one; - it can be daunting to suddenly find yourself on your own, standing free but facing a future of unknowns.

There are services available to meet such needs, with many organisations working with the same vision - to see women leaving prison supported to healthily integrate back into society, reducing the rate of re-offending and lowering homelessness among prison leavers.

The Conference is an event to celebrate and hear from these organisations. Network and learn how we can work together for the best outcome for women needing support upon their release from prison. And hear more from the courageous women who have walked this path and flourished.

Wow, Wow, Wow! - What an event!!!
Huge thanks to everyone who took part, and those who attended the Fashion Show. We raised over £350 to make a difference for women in prison and beyond. We couldn't have done it without you.

One model wrote afterwards - "I had a lot of fun and I am the sad the day is over, wish I could go back and do it all over again. I had such a blast! Thank you for inviting me and wanting me to be apart of the event, I am honoured by it."

Now that Spring has officially sprung – even if it isn’t quite as warm as we would like, and the days are getting longer it is time to plan our new season wardrobe.
According to the Guardian “Sleeveless knits, Breton strips and shoe charms” are all the rage this Spring!!
And with the changeable weather light weight knits and a Jacket are a must.
At Boutique Charity shop we have a great range of Spring wear to ease you into the Summer.
Pop in a check out the rails and if you are looking for some inspiration come along to our pre-loved Fashion Show on the 25th March where we will be show casing some Spring and Summer outfits.
