The main aims of the Widening Horizons Project are to enable BME females to raise their skill levels and enable them to access employment or training and thereby return to the labour market.

A range of activities will be developed in house as well as facilitated by other providers and these include confidence boosting workshops and seminars, cultural awareness, leadership qualities, educational outings, job surgeries and tasters, volunteering and work placements and much much more so WATCH THIS SPACE!!!

We will be working across Lancashire with the main focus on four areas: Preston, Accrington, Pendle and last but not least Great Harwood.
