EmpwrU - Move Towards Your Potential
EMPWRU PILOT NOW LIVE!
EmpwrU is our digital personal development and goal-setting app, shaped by listening to the women we work with. With wellbeing at its foundation, it helps people build confidence, get clear on what they want and turn meaningful goals into manageable steps.
Those goals might include exploring work, training or learning opportunities, improving wellbeing, managing finances or making more time for themselves. Designed to fit around everyday life, routines and responsibilities, EmpwrU offers 24/7 access to digital support, including Em, our AI coach, for encouragement, structure and guidance.
Our Midlothian pilot is now underway
We’re excited to be piloting EmpwrU with women in Midlothian until March 2027. This free programme is for women who are unemployed or on a low income. We’ll begin welcoming participants from early November 2026 onwards, with flexible onboarding rather than one fixed start date.
Small group sessions and one-to-one support will introduce participants to the app and its features, help them explore what they want to work towards and support them to set goals and create practical action plans. Weekly check-ins with our project lead will provide encouragement and support along the way.
Monthly focus groups will bring participants together to share their experiences of the app and help shape its development. They’ll also provide a regular opportunity to check in on goals, recognise progress and talk through any challenges. These sessions will include practical help with using the app and developing prompting skills to get more from the AI coach.
Through this pilot, we’ll also support women to explore opportunities for work, training and further learning, including support to gain an accredited qualification in digital skills.
We’re grateful to the Scottish Government and Midlothian Council for supporting this project through No One Left Behind funding, giving us the opportunity to work alongside women locally and develop EmpwrU together.
