Delivered by The Lady Powerhouse CIC
In 2025, the Foundation for Future London awarded a grant to The Lady Powerhouse CIC for its “HERstory in the Making” project through our Year 5 Community Grant Scheme, part of our Westfield East Bank Creative Futures Fund, funded by Westfield Stratford City.
‘HERstory in the Making’ is a mini-series by The Lady Powerhouse CIC, dedicated to showcasing the excellence, resilience, and potential of under-served female founders. This series follows the journeys of first-time female entrepreneurs, capturing their growth, challenges, and triumphs as they navigate the realities of building a business from the ground up.
Westfield East Bank Creative Futures Fund is an award-winning innovative five-year programme that aims to invest £10 million into the local communities of Newham, Tower Hamlets, Hackney and Waltham Forest. The programme has transformed and catalysed the lives and careers of over 19,000 people in East London by putting funding, resources and support straight into local people’s hands.

This series follows the journeys of first-time female entrepreneurs, capturing their growth, challenges, and triumphs as they navigate the realities of building a business from the ground up. Each episode highlights key moments in their entrepreneurial journey—overcoming setbacks, celebrating wins, securing opportunities, and developing leadership skills. The series is designed, not only to document their progress but also, to inspire future female founders by proving that success is possible, even in the face of limited resources.
The series premiere will take place in East London, with continued promotion through YouTube and other digital platforms, ensuring these inspiring stories reach far and wide. By amplifying the voices of these founders, HERstory in the Making will foster greater support for women-led businesses and encourage a new generation of female entrepreneurs to step into their power.
