Miss Gladys Worthy
- Trustee
I am a dedicated advocate for women and children, driven by a deep commitment to supporting those from deprived and marginalised backgrounds. Over the years, I have built a strong professional foundation in compliance, developing the ability to navigate governance, regulatory expectations, and ethical standards—skills that are essential in delivering safe, impactful, and community-centred programmes.
My passion for social impact is reflected in my work alongside a dynamic group of women focused on creating sustainable pathways for vulnerable women. Together, we explore practical ways to empower women through skills development, access to basic necessities, and growth opportunities—all aimed at helping them build independent, resilient, and sustainable lives.
