"Imagine a world full of "Vol-entrepreners" - Global change agents

Women Worldwide Active & Urban BackHer coaching and empowerment programme 2017

Women from a diverse range of backgrounds, ages, ethnicities – some from very challenging life situations – gather in one space to participate in this innovative & transformative programme; an opportunity to change the course of their lives.

In creaky metal cabins, up-cycled shipping containers, café backyards and unassuming office rooms in the dusty back roads of London, women are learning to become artisans; mindfully crafting. Women are learning to become leaders, mindfully co-creating a vision of their future with their Executive Coaches. All the while, London breathes on in the background; you can feel the hum and energy of the vibrant nearby ethnic London markets, traffic horns bleat, the sounds of the underground are familiar, and the fresh aroma of freshly baked bread and flat whites in nearby artisan cafes diffuses through the urban air. Change is happening in the crucible of these relationships and the supporting space. It’s palpable, it’s infectious.
The story begins in London where this movement started....

The documentary focuses on the volunteers (men, women and children) who worked with Dimple Devadas (Serial Vol-entrepreneur) with the collaborative of organisations on the Women's social impact programme and the Social impact Concert at Pop Brixton attended by the local Mayor.

Meet the real life vol-entrepreneurs who are the global change agents and contact us to find out how you can become a vol-entrepreneur and start changing your part of the planet....
