About Sisterhood
Sisterhood is a UK-based creative social enterprise that helps girls aged 13–17 unlock their potential through design, storytelling and leadership programmes. From schools to cultural institutions, Sisterhood creates bold spaces where young women build confidence, creativity and community.
The challenge
At a pivotal growth point, Sisterhood was rebuilding its advisory board and looking to expand partnerships but with a lean team and limited capacity, it needed advisors who could get stuck in, not just offer passive guidance.
How Polly helped
- Advising on strategic direction, especially around partnership outreach and storytelling
- Attending and co-leading meetings with potential collaborators and funders
- Offering actionable insights grounded in commercial experience
- Providing feedback on applications, proposals and programme design
- Modelling curiosity-led questioning that helped secure a new partnership
“Polly helped Sisterhood have more confidence in our approach to bringing commerce and cause together.”
The results
- Rebuilt advisory board with clearer expectations
- Strategic input on key meetings and proposals
- Secured a new partnership
- Increased confidence in partner storytelling and communications
With a growing network of collaborators and a clearer sense of how to combine impact and income, Sisterhood is entering its next chapter with more momentum and stronger strategic foundations.
