Own My Life Featured in the Irish News: Growing Impact in Northern Ireland

We are thrilled to share that Own My Life has been featured in the Irish News HERE, highlighting the growing reach and impact of our work in Northern Ireland. This exciting coverage comes on the heels of a pivotal trip by our Relationship Development Lead, Victoria Mason, who travelled to Northern Ireland to build meaningful partnerships with organisations and individuals who share our vision for empowering women.

Victoria’s trip follows the successful pilot of the first Own My Life course in Northern Ireland, delivered by North Down and Ards Women’s Aid. The pilot was a powerful and transformative experience for the women who participated, and it marked an important milestone in our journey to make Own My Life available to women across all communities in Northern Ireland (you can read more about the pilot HERE.

In the Irish News article, Victoria spoke passionately about the deep and lasting change the Own My Life programme is creating for women. She shared our commitment to ensuring all women — including those working in challenging environments like the police force — have access to the tools, knowledge, and support that the programme offers (read more HERE about Own My Life in the Met Police).

“We want every woman to have the opportunity to reclaim ownership of her life, identity, and future,” Victoria said. “That includes women in frontline roles like policing, who are often navigating complex personal and professional dynamics.”

We are incredibly excited about the opportunities that lie ahead as we continue to build relationships across Northern Ireland, connecting with organisations, community leaders, and individuals who are passionate about supporting women’s autonomy, safety, and growth.
