Inspiring Leadership Foundation Partners with DWP to Launch the Covenant for Empowering Women and Girls

On June 20th, 2023, the Inspiring Leadership Foundation had the privilege of attending a momentous Social Mobility event at Tottenham Hotspur Football Club. The event marked the official launch of our strategic partnership with the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) and the introduction of the groundbreaking Covenant for Empowering Women and Girls. This national rollout is a remarkable milestone, drawing inspiration from previous successful covenants, and we are thrilled to collaborate with the DWP to champion this transformative cause.

The Covenant for Empowering Women and Girls represents a powerful initiative aimed at dismantling barriers, promoting gender equality, and ensuring equal opportunities. This project seeks to provide access to opportunities for disadvantaged women and girls, irrespective of their backgrounds. Through collaboration with like-minded employers, we are encouraging them to pledge their support in creating an inclusive society where women and girls can thrive.

The Inspiring Leadership Foundation is deeply grateful for the strategic partnership with the DWP, which allows us to extend our reach and drive positive change on a national scale. Special thanks go to Tony Hyland MBE for his invaluable contribution in making this partnership a reality. This collaboration will enable us to inspire and empower women, especially those facing significant barriers, by equipping them with the necessary resources, tools, and opportunities to achieve personal and professional success.

The Covenant for Empowering Women and Girls is a commitment made by the nation to take action towards empowering women and girls. It involves acknowledging the barriers and discrimination they face and pledging to implement specific measures to overcome these obstacles, fostering a more equitable society. By launching this covenant, we demonstrate our unwavering dedication to inspire and empower women to realise their full potential and achieve financial independence.

At the Inspiring Leadership Foundation (ILF), our mission is to empower disadvantaged girls and women, enabling them to unlock their full potential and achieve financial independence. We accomplish this by providing access to mentoring, workshops, and development opportunities that enhance both their personal and professional growth. Through our collaboration with the DWP and the introduction of the Covenant for Empowering Women and Girls, we are committed to making a profound impact, creating a future where all women and girls can thrive.

With the introduction of the Covenant for Empowering Women and Girls, we are determined to break down barriers, promote equal opportunities, and inspire lasting change. Together, we can create a society where women and girls have the resources and support they need to overcome challenges and achieve their dreams

Our CEO and founder, Leigh Bowman-Perks was proud to speak at the event alongside a number of inspiring individuals. Leigh says “We invite employers from all sectors to join us in our mission to empower women and girls through the Covenant for Empowering Women and Girls.
