Why Your Support Matters
Your donation isn’t just a contribution... it’s access.
Through The Next Step Collective CIC, we want to offer free memberships to The Brave Business Club, free courses, and free networking opportunities to women who have been pushed to the margins through no fault of their own.
​
Women who have:
-
been out of work due to grief or loss
-
lived with long-term illness or disability
-
been made redundant
-
struggled with mental health
-
taken extended time away from work or community life
-
felt isolated, forgotten, or left behind
​
For many of these women, confidence has taken a huge hit and so has access.
Access to learning.
Access to support.
Access to community.
Access to opportunity.
Without funding, these opportunities simply aren’t available to them.
What Your Donation Makes Possible
Your support helps us provide:
-
Free memberships to supportive business and learning communities
-
Free courses that rebuild confidence and practical skills
-
Free networking opportunities that reduce isolation and reconnect women to others
-
Safe, welcoming spaces where women feel they belong again
-
A route back into work, business, and community life
​
These are not “nice extras”.
For many women, they are the difference between staying stuck and moving forward.
​
Why We Need Your Help
Women who’ve experienced loss, illness, redundancy or long-term mental health challenges are often expected to “just get back on with it”.
But rebuilding confidence, identity and direction takes time, support, and community and that support needs funding.
​
Without people like you backing this work:
-
we can’t offer free places
-
we can’t remove financial barriers
-
we can’t reach the women who need this most
-
​
Your donation directly helps us open doors that would otherwise stay closed.
The Impact of Your Support
By donating, you are helping women:
-
feel less isolated and alone
-
rebuild confidence and self-belief
-
reconnect with learning and opportunity
-
return to work, business or volunteering
-
rejoin their community and life, with support around them
This is about restoring possibility.

Thank You
If you believe that women deserve support, opportunity and community, especially after life has knocked them down.... thank you for being part of this.
Together, we can make sure that confidence, skills and opportunity are not privileges…
but stepping stones back into work, community and life
