Our Mission:
The mission of the Regional Women’s Enterprise Unit (RWEU) is to assist all women in the West Midlands, to access ‘gender-friendly’ business support, advice, guidance, mentoring and training, to enable them to establish or grow their businesses. Women will be offered access to relevant business support, regardless of their social or financial disadvantage, race, ethnicity or previous business background.
The development of the Regional Women’s Enterprise Unit forms an integral part of Advantage West Midlands’s Business Support Service. As such, it will work with other business support providers across the region to ensure that a consistently high level of support is delivered to women throughout the West Midlands.
The Regional Women’s Enterprise Unit will support other providers in building their capacity to offer women-friendly support in the region. It will raise awareness of the needs of women entrepreneurs and will contribute to an economic and cultural environment which is highly supportive of women’s enterprise.
