Smart Works and CLNM working their magic

Posted 18th August 2023

Smart Works and CLNM worked together to arrange a day for some of Midlothian's community members to be pampered for the day alongside building on their confidence and employment skills. 

Smart Works is a charity that works closely with women on their personal development. 

As there website states;

Our vision is to build London as our centre of excellence and take our transformative service to cities across the UK. 

The Smart Works story began in North London in 2013. Later that year, we opened our second centre in West London. Our journey had begun. We set up and licensed the Smart Works model to bring the service to life in cities across the UK. Using this model, Smart Works was brought to Edinburgh in 2014, Greater Manchester and Reading in 2015, Birmingham in 2016, Newcastle in 2018, Leeds in 2019, Glasgow in 2022, and South London and Manchester City Centre in 2023. Our Mission - Smart Works
