Bring some competition, fun and laughs to your lockdown on Tuesday 1 December and (hopefully) end lockdown in style, by joining us for the first ever Big Smart Works Quiz. Watch and play along live from 18:30 to 20:00 as our host takes you through five rounds of quiz questions. We will cover everything from music to the 90s, TV to fashion with the help of some familiar faces...

At a time when we can't be together in person, recruit your friends, family and colleagues to get together virtually in a team of up to five, and compete to take the quiz crown. Set up a Facetime, WhatsApp group or video call on a separate device if you're not in the same household or alternatively, tackle the quiz individually for a big challenge.

If you would like to register your interest and receive email updates including how to access the event, please do so here.

During the pandemic, Smart Works has continued to be there for any woman who needs our support. We have developed a virtual service consisting of career coaching for those seeking an interview, and one-to-one interview coaching and a bespoke parcel of wardrobe essentials delivered to the door of women with an interview, ensuring they feel and look great.

Never has our work meant more as unemployment reaches its highest level in three years with women disproportionately impacted. As we raise vital funds to ensure we can continue to run our service, we are suggesting a donation of £5, £10 or £20 per person . We know this is a challenging time for everyone, so please give what you can. Every penny will go towards helping unemployed women transform their lives.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Founded in September 2013 Smart Works exists to help unemployed women regain the confidence they need to succeed at job interviews, find employment and transform their lives. In the last 12 months 4,000 women have received the coaching, clothes and confidence to help them get the job.

Half of Smart Works clients are long-term unemployed with over a quarter having applied for over 50 roles. With the charity's support, 65% go on to get a job within one month of their visit. As well as providing complete outfits of high-quality clothes for job interviews, clients also have access to one-to-one interview training and the opportunity to join the Smart Works Network, meeting every month to further their professional and personal development.
