I’m delighted that the Labour Party National Executive Committee is funding a second Women’s Development Programme across Sheffield. The key aim of the programme is to encourage women’s participation at all levels of the Labour Party to help address under-representation.

I helped to establish the first Women’s Development Programme and am really pleased that we’ve secured funding to run the programme again.

Any woman can apply and the organisers are particularly keen to hear from young women, BAME women, disabled women, LGBT+ women, and any other women who feel there are barriers in place which makes them feel they cannot participate – maybe not having gone on to further or higher education, caring responsibilities or just a lack of confidence.

You can find more information here and in the video below. To apply, please complete an application form by Wednesday 31 July 2019.
