About LASS

Ladies Aspire 2 Seek Success CIC brings women together to connect, share experiences and support one another in moving forward.

We believe that every woman deserves the opportunity to build confidence, explore her potential and take positive steps towards her future.

Why LASS Began


LASS was founded by Angela after her own experiences of facing challenges around confidence, employment and finances, and feeling unsupported.

She recognised that many other women were going through similar struggles, often in silence. She wanted to create a community where women could speak openly, find encouragement and discover that they didn’t have to face everything alone.

That idea became LASS.

What we're working towards

I am Angela.

I am LASS.

For over 30 years, I’ve worked in recruitment, helping people step into new opportunities and build better futures.

Throughout my career, I’ve seen first-hand the challenges women can face when trying to move forward. Struggles with mental health, a lack of confidence, limited opportunities and personal circumstances can make the next step feel overwhelming.

I’ve also seen so much potential in women who simply needed the right support, encouragement and guidance to thrive.

A mission that's

personal to me

As a mother of two daughters, I want to help create a world where women feel empowered, capable and supported in both their personal and professional lives.

LASS brings together my experience in recruitment and my desire to make a meaningful difference. Through confidence building, practical support, skills development and a strong community network, I want to help women recognise what they’re capable of and explore what comes next.

Together, we can make a difference

Your support means so much. Whether you share our story, recommend LASS to someone who might benefit or help spread the word, you’re helping us reach more women.

Together, we can break down barriers, uplift women and build stronger, more resilient communities.

Angela, founder of LASS

Our community. Our stories.

Every woman brings her own experiences, strengths and hopes to LASS. As more women choose to share their stories, this space will grow with them.

There's a place for you here.

Whether you’re looking for support, hoping to meet other women or interested in working with LASS, we’d love to hear from you.
