This will give the women involved an opportunity to develop existing skills and learn new ones. The increased access to English classes will lead to an increase in confidence. We also expect a number of the women involved directly with the nursery to undergo qualifications in childcare, as they will be able to use the nursery as a work placement, therefore increasing their skills and qualifications. We hope that in the first year two to four women will begin this process. We have also agreed as a group that the women within the larger Homeplus Women's Group, depending on their skills, will use the shared work space to take it in turns to deliver workshops to the other participants on subjects such as photography, hair braiding, and sewing, which will increase the skills and confidence of those both delivering and participating in the workshops. For single asylum seeking mothers the option of child-free time will build confidence as the mothers are able to engage in activities independent of their children which will in turn reduce the chances of social isolation. The project will also build on the close relationships women within the group have already made whilst also encouraging more to get involved resulting in a close network of solidarity and support among the mothers and women involved - and also their children. This close working relationship will be fostered by the important role each participant will play in the running of the project.
