Smart Works

“We are delighted that the Law Society has chosen Smart Works North East and Suitability as joint Charity partners this year.  Our organisations are aligned with the same mission; to support unemployed people across the North East to break down the barrier of confidence and interview clothing. Partnering with The Law Society will help us to reach more people and increase our impact across the region.  It’s a powerful partnership and we are so excited to begin our work together.” Helen Boyd – Head of Smart Works North East
