FACE to Face
In London:
FACE to Face seeks to help some of the most vulnerable people in our society turn their talents into a business of their own. Currently working in South London with women from African and Caribbean communities, mainly single mothers, FACE to Face helps to build livelihoods for those who are eligible for state benefits or in low paid work, by offering a free business training course, interest-free loans and ongoing business support.

"I left school at 15 years old, unable to read or write. Since joining FACE to Face, everything has started to shift. I have been challenged to cut back in several areas of life... my debts are managed and I live within my means. I now run a childcare business, and I have had to make a waiting list, even turning customers away due to high demand! Now I’m studying childcare further that I might be even more qualified. Everything felt so hazy before – now I can see clearly."
