Follow the Rainbow
Think of Smart Works as a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow. Every year in the UK this charismatic charity turns dreams into reality for over 1,000 women by being instrumental in getting them through the door to financial independence. Which makes a massive impact on their lives. And consequently, the lives of their nearest and dearest.

It's Official!
Is it any wonder that Smart Works has captured Sister Snog's corporate heart. That's why Sister Snog is now fundraising and on a mission to raise £2,500.00. With your help.

What's your Dream?
Do you have big dreams? Imagine if your big dream is to get a job so that you can escape from the State of Dependence to the Principality of Independence. All it take is to turn up for an interview to a job that's got your name on it. Looking good. Feeling good. Dressed for success. Full of confidence. And an air of catwalk cool.

Caught in a Trap
How difficult could that be? Almost impossible if you're a woman caught in the low income trap. Because life hasn't dealt you the best hand. Maybe you've never worked. Maybe you've been in prison. Maybe you've suffered abuse. Or mental health issues. Or maybe you've just stayed at home.

So even if there's a job out there with your name on it, you're in a rat-trap. Where there's money for food and basics. Just about. But not enough spare for an interview outfit. Where confidence is reserved for the confident. And self belief packed its bags a long time ago.

A Bright Future
Everyone who walks through the doors of Smart Works walks out a with a key called hope. An interview outfit. Top tips on interview techniques. Styling advice. A sense of belonging. The promise of a future.

Sister Snog and Smart Works
Sister Snog raised a total of £1,485.00 at two show stopping events:

1. Funny Women 10th Anniversary Charity Challenge
On International Women's Day, 10 high profile business women became stand up comediennes for the night in aid of their chosen charity. Imagine everyone's surprise when the 'Sisters' arrived on stage!

2. Showtime with Sister Snog
On the 10th of October 2012, Sister Snog celebrated a decade of connecting women in business with harmony and humour in support of Smart Works.

Both events combined music with comedy, celebrations with felicitations and fundraising with fabulous femmes.
