About Us
Futures for Women is a registered charity (No. 313700) formerly known as the Society for Promoting the Training of Women.
Our charity was established in 1859 by suffragist Jessie Boucherett to encourage women towards economic independence through employment and this objective still underpins our activities today. Please visit our History page to find out how our charity has developed over the past 165 years.
Interest-free loan programme
Interest-free loans of up to £1000 are available to women studying a post-graduate degree or a professional training course which will lead to their desired career. Applications are now open! Go to ‘Apply’ if you would like to be considered this year.
If you have any questions about this programme, please get in touch for an informal chat.
Partnership working
To achieve our aims of supporting women into work we also undertake partnership projects with other charities. Please visit this page to read about our partnership work up to 2025. We regularly review which charities we work with, so please contact our Administrator if you represent a charity with similar aims to ours.
