Ambition Backed by Opportunity

She Walks is a South‑London‑based Community Interest Company (CIC) that supports young mothers into paid leadership roles and delivers lived‑experience‑led prevention education in schools and youth settings. We combine safeguarding expertise, professional training and real‑life experience to build safer, more informed and more economically secure futures.

Walking away from stigma. Walking into leadership.

We believe young mothers are leaders, not problems to be fixed. She Walks turns lived experience into leadership, prevention and community impact.

Who We Are

Who We Are

She Walks is a Community Interest Company (CIC) dedicated to young mothers and young people. We create paid leadership pathways for young mums aged 18–25 and partner with schools to deliver prevention and safeguarding education grounded in lived experience and professional practice.

01

A Community Interest Company with Purpose
She Walks is set up as a CIC, which means our work and resources are locked into serving our community. Every programme, partnership and pound is focused on increasing safety, leadership and economic independence for young mothers and young people.

02

Leadership Pathways for Young Mothers
We support young mums to move from feeling overlooked to stepping into paid leadership roles. Through training, mentoring and paid sessional work, participants gain skills, confidence and professional experience that supports long‑term employment.

03

Prevention Education Rooted in Lived Experience
We design and deliver school‑based prevention sessions that support RSHE and PSHE, covering healthy relationships, early parenthood, exploitation and online safety. Workshops are co‑delivered by trained young mothers and safeguarding‑aware facilitators.

Credible Partners for Schools & Services

Our work blends lived experience with safeguarding training, youth work practice and reflective supervision. We take a professional, evidence‑informed approach that gives schools, local authorities and partners confidence in the quality and safety of our programmes.

Our Work

Our Work

We focus on two core strands of work that reinforce each other: paid leadership pathways for young mothers and a school prevention programme that brings real‑life insight into the classroom.
Leadership Pathways for Young Mothers

Our leadership pathways provide young mums aged 18–25 with structured training, mentoring and paid opportunities. Participants build facilitation skills, safeguarding awareness and professional confidence, and they progress into paid sessional roles co‑delivering workshops in schools and community spaces.

Key outcomes (bullets):
School Prevention & Safeguarding Programme

We partner with secondary schools, colleges and youth organisations to deliver prevention education that supports RSHE and PSHE requirements. Sessions address the realities of early parenthood, relationships, exploitation and online pressure in a safe, age‑appropriate way.
