Lancashire Women, the leading charity for women and girls in Lancashire is launching an employment project called 'Workfit Women.'

The project aims to support women over the age of 24, who want to get back into employment, education or volunteering.

Events will take place in Lancashire Women's main centres across the county, including Accrington and Burnley.

A spokesperson for Lancashire Women said: "These events are creating an opportunity for women who are currently not employed to find out more from the Employment Support Team about everything from gaining employment, going into education, volunteering or job searching."

Trained job coaches will offer women support and advice to equip them with the skills and confidence to move forward into employment, education or job searching.

Workfit and Transition Project Manager, Tracey Arden said: "Over the past year, 50 percent of women who have completed our Workfit Project have gained employment with 20 percent of women moving into education or training.

"It really is an amazing project that can make a difference to Lancashire Women."

Workfit events will take place at the Accrington Centre on Blackburn Road, Accrington, on March 26 from 12pm until 3pm.

And at the Burnley Centre, Nicholas Street, Burnley, on March 27 from 10am until 1pm.
