XY London - Helping to give young women a better start in their career

XY London Helping Young Women’s Trust to boost young women’s self esteem and confidence, every step of the way, on their journey to success!

We all have our good and bad days. Sometimes we feel on top of the world, other times nothing seems to be going quite right for us and our confidence can take a knock, because we are all only human!

Here at XY London we want to ensure that we are doing our bit to help young women along the road towards a more confident, better and happy future. So we thought long and hard about this before deciding to select a charity that supports young women by boosting their confidence and helping them into better work roles!

The charity that we are supporting is called the Young Women’s Trust! This fantastic charity helps 16-30 year-old women - on low or no pay in England and Wales - to find work or, for those working already, to land a better paid job!

More on The Young Women’s Trust
The Young Women’s Trust believes that every young woman should have the opportunity to work and be paid a fair wage. As well as offering practical support in the way of confidence and employment coaching, help is given on everything from CV advice and job applications to interview preparation.

Young Women’s Trust gives young women one on one coaching, helping them to transform their confidence and broaden their aspirations whilst taking steps to find work or a better job. The charity also helps young women to recognise their key skills and then major on these.

One of the young women, which this charity has helped, said: “My coach helped me to find skills I never knew I had and showed me different jobs I could apply for with these skills. I am very grateful for this service. Amazing.”

Young Women’s Trust supported an amazing 2,102 young women in 2017/18! And of those helped almost half were from the top third of the most deprived households across the UK, 44% of them were unemployed.

95% of the young women who used the charities coaching service said that it had helped them with everything from boosting their confidence to giving them the ability to deal with those difficult situations that arise in life. Prior to Young Women’s Trust coaching many had felt isolated and stressed without this support.
