Support Her
Coaching for women in elected office
We want to make sure that every woman in our community who is new to elected office enters with the skillset she needs. We connect women in our community with professional coaches to help them overcome challenges and build confidence.
Too often, we see elected women stepping down before they have hit their stride.
Our network of over 50 coaches support women to thrive in politics with 1:1 coaching. By providing elected women with the time and confidential space they need to process their experiences in elected office, they can overcome challenges, build confidence and skills and feel less alone.
Our Impact

Help us to support the women supporting our local communities as councillors. We’ll provide you with jargon-busting and other key information to demystify councils before you start, alongside our full briefing so you know what to expect in your voluntary role.
