What we do
Has anyone ever told you…
“You can’t do that! You’re a girl!” or “This is man’s work, it’s not for you”?
We’re here to tell you that that’s rubbish. Nobody gets to decide what should happen in your life except YOU.
We want to provide the young women of the Tees Valley with the role models, inspiration, resources and information to take control over the choices they make. This website is a toolkit to help find that control and discover the power of women.
Let us show you what is possible.

Have you ever heard the phrase, “You can’t be what you can’t see”?
This refers to the idea that, unless you see someone like you doing incredible things, it won’t occur you to you that you are also capable of doing amazing things.
That’s why we’ve collected stories from incredible role models in the Tees Valley.
Take a look through their stories to discover what people like you are truly capable of.
