WEPT (Women Empowerment Project & Training) established in 2015, as a social enterprise, creating and administering projects that aim to promote women empowerment, training in fashion and textiles, and sustainability. We work with leading practitioners to provide a programme of activities, events and access to information that will help and encourage people to consider improvements in their lives, through skills and personal development and well-being that will lead to self sustainability in the community.
Our work will also utilise the role of art and the creative industries to empowering women to make their ideas happen, in order to further enhance their quality of life; and improve knowledge and appreciation of historic, cultural and traditional life in the Church street area of Westminster.
WEPT, we’re firm believers that the community is the very heart of what we do. We encourage local people to work together to not only strengthen the community but also increase individual engagement and involvement in the lives of others. Much of our work is geared towards inspiring the community to work together and take an interest in what is going on around them. We help to prompt conversation between the young and the elderly through our intergenerational programmes and events. By instigating dialogue between parents and children, teenagers and elderly we hope to create not only a bond between local people in the community and increase richness to the community but encourage the older participants to pass on their life experiences and skills to the younger generation. By doing this we hope to enhance and improve the knowledge and appreciation of the historic, cultural and traditional life of those living within the London Borough of Westminster.
At WEPT, we are passionate about seeing people work towards their dreams. We are enthusiastic about mentoring and instilling confidence to those that intend to develop their lives, or even start-up their own business. We have a keen interest in helping to nurture and prepare individuals into their desired dreams and make their idea happen. Although we specialise in the creative industries, we are keen to help nurture other people to go on and do many other things. Our support is to ensure our beneficiaries gain a better understanding of how they can develop their skills and most importantly, how they can contribute to society.
