Hello, and thanks for stopping by today.  I hope you have enjoyed browsing our new website!  

My name is Maxine, and I’m the Founder of You Glow! and You Glow (business) Consultancy. I am innovative in thought and passionate about helping others to reach their potential and be the best version of themselves.  

For over 25 years I've worked with many adults and young people from across a variety of sectors including education, faith and voluntary, youth and criminal justice, as well as a political office. 

I created You Glow! to meet the many needs of women and girls faced with multiple disadvantage. Our support services include a personal development programme, a support group for survivors of Domestic Abuse and Violence, mentoring to help young women leaving prison and support to help young adult women leaving care and in need of essential life skills to live independently. Enhancing mental, physical, social, emotional, spiritual, and economic status, our aim is to engage in interactive learning experiences designed to build self-esteem and strong leadership skills to help You Glow! inside and out.  

I'm proud to say that as a team, we have supported numerous women and girls, and have seen the positive impact and transformation in their lives.  

Come and join in one or more of our workshops and programmes.  

I look forward to meeting you soon.
