Engaging women and supporting them into work, through programmes and research
Belina GRoW CIC
Empowering women and strengthening communities with flexible, community-based support that makes a real difference.
We are a specialist employability provider who support women, particularly mothers, who face multiple disadvantages, including those who have never worked, are long-term unemployed, have no or low qualifications, speak English as a second language, come from Black and Minority Ethnic communities, or are single mothers.
Our diverse team speak 12 community languages and we bring our programs to where the women we support live, and ensure our training and workshops are scheduled around their caring responsibilities. We believe that training and skills development are key to empowering women and supporting their journey back into work, helping them build brighter futures for themselves and their families.

“The GRoW programme gave me the confidence to take the next step on my journey to work. I loved working with the other women and felt I was able to build my own bridge back to work. I am now working in a school and love my job because it suits my family life.”

“Thank you to the magnificent team at Belina Grow CIC for the initial invitation to talk to the incredible women on your amazing programme and then to send me this feedback today.
So often in this sector we do what we do and hope for the best, hope it makes a difference, hope it changes things. It’s a rare treat to find out it has.”

“Before I joined GRoW an adviser from the Jobcentre recommended a Functional Skills course to me but I didn’t feel I had the confidence then to pursue it. Since going through the GRoW Programme however, I feel different. I now feel ready to take it on.”
