We Won! Apolitical Foundation's inaugural Political Leadership Impact Award😀

By the Elect Her team

We are thrilled, and a bit blown away 😀, to have been awarded Apolitical Foundation's inaugural Political Impact Award. And in such amazing company with Recambio 👏!

It is brilliant that our unique focus on positive action and compassionate support - across the political divide - has been recognised. It's a testament to our community and our incredible team - who always go above and beyond!

In the past 8 years over 9,000 women 💥 have accessed our resources and community. We’ve supported 459 women to stand for elected office, 199 of whom have won their elections! All incredible women, all making democracy possible.

Our mission is to equip women with the skills, knowledge, and confidence to run for office authentically, and thrive once there. That includes holding a safe, cross party, feminist, space in which they can access workshops, campaign training, grants, coaching to protect their mental wellbeing and more.

And our work doesn’t stop there, in the last few years we’ve listened deeply to the barriers to entry for women and have created a roadmap for change with 45 levers that we can ALL pull to make the difference.

We’re not just empowering individuals, we’re creating a pipeline of diverse leaders and taking on the system that is getting in their way.
