This programme will cover all 3 of the Tampon Tax Objectives but our main focus is improving health & well-being. More women will be connected with one another and have increased confidence and self-esteem. The Project Support Worker will engage with women one to one to build trust and communication and develop a needs analysis. The project worker will then plan a programme around the needs of the women. From 2011, Glow has had over 300 women come through our personal development programmes; these women have discovered worth and purpose, secured employment, and built relationships that break down social, religious, and cultural barriers, and positively influence their family and wider community. Many of these women suffer from mental health issues and feel socially isolated, alone and with no hope or purpose. We will create a community of connectedness that will give these women social networks for them to focus on and be a part of which will improve their health & well-being. These women will also have the opportunity to have their voices heard and be part of developing a community where other women will feel safe and can get connected. The women we work with will be empowered to take responsibility for their lives and have the right tools and techniques to make the changes that will have a positive knock on effect within their family and local community.
