Chwarae Teg is committed to encouraging women to consider starting their own business.
From 2001 to 2006 Chwarae Teg delivered the Women’s Enterprise Wales and Lone Parents Venture (part of Potentia) projects. These initiatives jointly funded by the Welsh Development Agency (now Welsh Assembly Government/DEIN) and European structural funds, and integral to the Entrepreneurship Action Plan for Wales, provided workshops, counselling sessions and networking opportunities to Women and Lone Parents throughout Wales to enable them to take the first steps towards starting their own business.
During the Women’s Enterprise Wales project Chwarae Teg produced 2 significant research reports:
Copies of these reports (or the executive summaries) are available by e mailing [email protected].
Chwarae Teg is currently contributing to the Welsh Assembly Government’s Potentia project by delivering the Consultancy Toolkit for Lone Parents and Women to mainstream business support agencies.
Underpinning our commitment to women in enterprise, Chwarae Teg also Chairs and manages the All Wales Enterprise Action Group for Women (AWEAGW). Set up in 1995, the Group comprises representation from various agencies and organisations across Wales who are involved in the provision of services to support business start-up and business development and were the inspiration behind the Women’s Enterprise Wales project. Re-launched in September 2006 the overall aim of AWEAGW is to disseminate and exchange good practice in the field of women’s enterprise, to increase the profile of women entrepreneurs and to encourage and promote the development of women’s enterprise projects.
