WHAT WE DO

Your future starts with you.

Personal & professional development for people who are ready to go from feeling stuck to moving forward with confidence, clarity, and direction.

Funded 6-week programme for women in Midlothian

Feeling stuck? Not sure what you want, just that you're capable of more? Inspire & Thrive gives you space to figure it out.

This free programme is for women in Midlothian - parents who are unemployed or on a low income - who want to reconnect with themselves and get clear on what they want for their future.

What you'll get:

One-to-one coaching-style support alongside group sessions with women who get it;
Time to explore your values, interests and what actually matters to you;
Practical tools to build confidence, set goals and take real steps forward;
Digital skills and AI confidence training;
An accredited qualification to support your next move.

No pressure. No judgment. Just a welcoming space away from everyday life where you can slow down, reflect, and focus on you.

Creative Makerspace

A space to create, connect, and reimagine what’s possible - coming soon!

Our Vision

We’re developing a creative, inclusive makerspace for women in Midlothian - a welcoming place to make, repair, upcycle, and reuse, while building skills, confidence, and community connection.

The Makerspace will be a hub where creativity meets sustainability, and where women feel valued, capable, and supported to bring ideas to life.

What We’re Creating

Once established, the Makerspace will offer community-led creative sessions and shared learning opportunities. Our focus is on skill sharing - learning from and supporting one another in an open, welcoming environment. Activities may include:

Upcycling and giving new life to materials
Repairing and restoring items to reduce waste
Reusing and reimagining resources sustainably
Skill sharing in areas such as DIY, carpentry, textiles, interior design, and digital design

All sessions will be co-designed with participants, ensuring the programme reflects local interests, creativity, and community spirit.

Get Involved

We’re currently in the planning and development phase, and we’d love your input as we shape the Makerspace together.

If you’re interested in creativity, sustainability, skill sharing, or community - or simply curious to learn more - we’d love to hear from you.

We’re currently gathering:

Interest from women who’d like to take part once we launch
Ideas and suggestions for creative activities, groups, and themes

✨ Share your interest and ideas

Add your details using our Community Interest Form and be among the first to hear when the Makerspace opens. Together, we’ll co-create a space that celebrates creativity, skill sharing, connection, and community.

Monthly Group Meet-up

We host a monthly accountability group based in Dalkeith, welcoming people from across Midlothian, Edinburgh, and East Lothian.

The group meets once a month to share goals, motivate and inspire each other, and stay focused on moving forward together. It’s a supportive space for people who understand the realities and challenges of everyday life and want encouragement, guidance, and accountability as they work towards what matters to them.

Whether you’re working towards personal goals, career progression, professional development, learning, or simply want to feel more supported and connected, this group offers community, encouragement, and practical support - without pressure or judgement.

The group is free to attend.

If you’d like to find out more or come along to a future session, please get in touch.

Ready to stop settling?

Maybe you already have a job. A family. A life that works. But you know you’re capable of more - and you don’t want to settle.

You might feel a pull towards something more purposeful, more ambitious, or simply more meaningful for you. Not because anything is wrong, but because you’re ready to move forward and make the most of your potential.

Our one-to-one coaching gives you dedicated space to stop, reflect, and work out what you want for your future - and how to move towards it.

No pressure. No rushing. No expectation to have everything figured out. Just clarity, confidence, motivation, and encouragement, built at your pace and around your life.

This is for you if:

You’re tired of feeling stuck, uncertain, or like you’re just going through the motions
You’re not feeling as fulfilled or satisfied as you’d like to be
You want to make intentional choices about your future, rather than letting life unfold day by day
You’re ready to trust yourself, take responsibility, and move forward with purpose.

How it works:

Sessions run for a minimum of six weeks - enough time to build real foundations, not just short-term motivation. Available in person (Edinburgh/Lothians) or online, around your life.
