Our Strategic Plan 2022-4
Our Strategic Plan outlines our mission to finding solutions to the root causes of gendered poverty
Our 2022-2024 Strategic Plan follows our response to the COVID-19 crisis and it has also been influenced by the past five years of the Trust supporting a growing ‘eco-system’ of funding to individuals, organisations and policy and influencing activities. To achieve our ambitions, we are continuing to invest in our people and infrastructure to support and work alongside communities to develop workable models that improve economic and social outcomes for women.
2025 Strategic Plan Update
The Board have agreed to extend the Strategic Plan period to the end of 2025 while we re-fresh the existing plan to take into consideration recent learning from our place-based programmes, consultation with our grant partners and other stakeholders and the general economic outlook.
Our Strategic Plan outlines our mission to finding solutions to the root causes of gendered poverty so that:
- UK women are free from poverty and have a sustainable and secure financial future
- Future generations of UK women are less likely to live in poverty
- UK women can live in a society that equally values their contribution
Smallwood strives to achieve these key objectives:

Supporting partners to develop a gender-lens approach

Funding to pilot and help scale
programmes that reduce gendered poverty

Flexible funding to improve social and economic outcomes for women

Helping build networks and resilient communities
