For those of you who know me, running is not something that comes naturally to me. In April 2026 I will be running the London Landmarks Half Marathon in support of Smart Works.

Smart Works is a UK charity dedicated to empowering unemployed women by providing free interview coaching, professional clothing, and confidence-building support. Their service includes one-on-one interview preparation, a complete interview outfit, and ongoing encouragement free of charge. Upon securing employment, clients return for a "Second Dressing" to receive a capsule working wardrobe. Smart Works has supported 10,000 women this year. Our London team is committed to helping even more women access the opportunities they deserve through this inspiring partnership.

This charity partnership forms part of Deloitte's Social Impact programme where we are focused on building better futures for all, concentrating on three key areas where we believe we can make a lasting difference: a digital world for everyone / more sustainable ways of doing business / a skilled workforce for the future.

Please support me to help give women an opportunity to get confident and into the workplace.

If you would like to follow my training progress please find me on strava.
