Get involved

The experience of our 160,000 community of people professionals sets us apart. But we know the barriers to better work are overcome quicker when charities, agencies and dedicated volunteers join forces. 

Working Chance is the UK’s only employment charity dedicated to supporting women with convictions. They believe every woman deserves the opportunity to thrive, regardless of her past. Working Chance help women build confidence, skills, and self-belief so they can move beyond their convictions and towards financial independence. The team works to break down barriers to employment, whether it’s stigma, low confidence, or gaps in a CV, through coaching, employability support, and partnerships with inclusive employers who believe in second chances. Our collaboration enables volunteer interview coaches to help women prepare for work. It’s a deeply rewarding opportunity to empower women, help them recognise their strengths, and support them to feel confident and ready for employment. You’ll receive training in trauma-informed practice and safeguarding, along with ongoing support from our dedicated staff team. This is a great fit for anyone who wants to use their professional skills to make a meaningful difference in women’s lives.
