We were delighted to welcome Scott Arthur MP to our Edinburgh centre this month. His visit marked a meaningful opportunity to showcase the vital work we do to support women across Scotland as they prepare for job interviews and re-enter the workforce with confidence.

During the visit, Scott toured our centre, met with staff, and learned more about our transformative dressing and coaching services. Commenting on his experience, Scott said:

“It was a privilege to visit Smart Works Scotland and see first-hand the incredible work they do to support women into employment. The confidence and practical help they provide is truly transformative. I’m proud that we have such an inspiring organisation making a real difference in our communities.”

Scott's visit comes at a time when more women than ever are turning to Smart Works for support. Last year alone, in Scotland we saw over 1500 women-our highest number to date. Collectively over the UK, Smart Works centres now support over 10,000 women annually, showcasing the high demand which our services face. With job markets shifting and many facing significant barriers to employment, our mission to empower women with the tools and confidence to succeed is more critical than ever.

We’re grateful to Scott for taking the time to visit and show his support to empowering women and enhancing employment opportunities.
