Luminary Ltd Request

Organisation Description

Luminary provides training, holistic support, employment pathways and community to some of the most disadvantaged women in London. We work alongside women who have experienced gender-based violence and live with ‘multiple disadvantage’ – a term that recognises that many women experience multiple forms of social and economic disadvantage which interlink, intersect and drive a cycle of deprivation. Our primary focus is helping these women achieve employment and reach independence – breaking the cycle of poverty, violence and disadvantage, once and for all.
