We’re building a world where 51% (or more!) of elected officials are women.
We are a non-partisan organisation working to motivate, support and equip women in all their diversity to stand for political office, in Britain, and thrive once there.
Our Impact
9000+ women are exploring their journeys & gaining the skills they need for their political career with us.
459 women supported in standing for all levels of elected office.
4500+ women are accessing our self-led courses and support.
199 women elected to all levels of democracy.
Politics doesn’t work unless it really reflects and represents communities.
We believe the world will be a better place when more women are in power. We are a tiny but mighty team of women across Britain committed to building a world where at least 51% of elected officials are women.
We support women through every stage of their political journey.
