Description of Organisation:   

She for Her is a community interest company based in Plymouth that aims to help refugee and asylum seeking women feel more confident interacting with various authority figures they come into contact with as well as the local community. We hope to leave them feeling empowered to stand up for their rights and feeling a more valued part of the Plymouth community. We do this by running support groups, building campaigns with local businesses, challenging authority figures to make concrete changes amongst many other things. We use the personal experiences of our founder Gunel to do this the best we can.

How has your intern made a positive contribution?   

Thalia helped us to set-up all our social media to a high standard- creating brand consistency. She made fantastic connections which have helped us to grow the business and turned her hand to many different tasks around marketing that she had never done before

Feedback: 

Highly recommend this scheme- as a tiny not for profit- we doubled our workforce for 2 months and it made us progress and grow as an organisation.
