Identities Community Interest Company
Identities is a programme that acts as a self development resource for women in South Yorkshire. It is available to those who have lost some or all of their identity and now want to take action to produce amazing results in their life.
The programme particularly focuses on women living in areas of deprivation and aims to develop self esteem and the aspirations of the women taking part. Identities provide one to one mentoring services, Identities Coaching Programmes and continued resource support after the programme has ended.
As a new social enterprise, Identities applied to Key Fund Yorkshire for a small amount of start up finance to help launch the programme. In September 2008, the Key Fund awarded Identities with a £3,000 grant and a £3,000 loan to help with their first four months of running costs, including room hire, tutor fees and production of course materials.
