The Wonder Women Mentoring Programme is the TV industry’s only year-long, nationwide mentoring programme that supports diverse women (cultural backgrounds, ethnicities, ages, LGBTQ+, abilities, geographic origin, socioeconomic status) at mid-senior level in their careers in Television and the Creative Industries, bringing mentees together with leading industry executives.

Supporting social mobility, employability and diversity & inclusion in TV, the game-changing programme is designed to aid industry retention and to develop the next generation of female leaders.

“The Wonder Women Mentoring Programme is a brilliant example of the best kind of collaboration – with a wide variety of industry stakeholders coming together to give women access to opportunities that they often do not have, for a host of different reasons. Having met some of the mentees and mentors at the launch, I feel incredibly proud that the Film and TV Charity’s Reel Impact programme was able to support Wonder Women with an award that will elevate women from all areas of the industry. I am also pleased to accept the invitation to join the organisation’s “sisterhood” - an amazing group of women - and I’m very much looking forward to hearing how the mentees’ progress and thrive as a result of the programme. I wish Ria and the team at Wonder Women every success as they help to build women, sustain their careers in the industry and create lasting legacy.”
— Anita Herbert, Reel Impact Programme Manager Film & TV Charity

“Without a doubt, it has been utterly glorious in providing the most incredible, intelligent, supportive and creative network.”
