The POW Factor: Our Impact

To families everywhere, September means one thing: back to school!???

We can't wait to get back into local schools across Teesside to continue our work in our fantastic partner schools, with our inspiring POW Ambassadors.?

Take a look at the above infographic to see the impact we achieved across our schools last year. Over the next year we're planning to achieve?even more!?

If you want to help POW create even more of an impact across our local schools, why not show your support to our campaign, or even become a sponsor of one of our partner schools?

I'm an individual: I want to support POW?

I work for a business: We want to become a sponsor

BRAND NEW: Send a POW Shoutout

We know that the Power of Women community is full of fantastic people who do incredible things day after day. We also know that these people often don't realise just how incredible they are.?

If you know someone like this, why not remind them just how fantastic they are and send them a POW shoutout. You can shout someone out for anything, like:?

?Smashing a presentation at work?

?Getting a promotion

?Going out of their way to make someone smile

?Supporting a friend or colleague

?Just being fantastic!

No matter how small it might seem, we all need a shoutout every now and then. So why not send one to an amazing person you know????

Sponsor Spotlight

Our Sponsor under the Spotlight this month is the amazing Steel Benders!?

Steel Benders offers steel bending and profiling services across the UK, and they aim to be the supplier of choice for all steel processing needs.?

At the end of last academic year, our POW Ambassadors went to the Steel Benders manufacturing plant for a hands-on work experience day.

On the day, Tania Cooper MBE (Managing Director of Steel Benders), wrote and signed a pledge to:?

• Support POW ambassadors throughout their journey
• Give a helping hand wherever possible to other young women
• Create an environment and landscape for women's career's and development.?

We'd like to say a huge POW thank you to Steel Benders for sponsoring us on our journey so far!?????
