Our founder, Rebekah Watkins is on a mission to:

Trailblaze women at work, women in the heritage sector, and young people making a positive difference in their community
Encourage sustainability in the fashion & construction industries
Champion the environment
Create opportunities for young people and those who are disavantaged to REACH THEIR GOD-GIVEN POTENTIAL
And to empower the next generation to be an INDOMITABLE FORCE FO GOOD!
From hard hat & hi-vis to the catwalk, Rebekah made it all the way to the Miss England Finals 2024, sharing her faith, her work as part of Dream CIC, and her passion to encourage others to be 'Restorers of Ruins' in their communities, and to be the ambassadors of local positive change! Her involvement in the competition affected positive change, with the swimwear round banned and replaced with workwear, as well as shifting the emphasis from just being about what you look like, to actually what you do! In recongition of the values she stands for and the ethical work she does, she was crowned as Miss England's 'We Do Ethical' Queen.
She continues to share her journey, life-stories and encouragements around the UK and further afield, empowering the next generation to be an indomitable force for good, challenging stereotypes, and encouraging the transformation of heritage and communities! Feel free to get in touch if you'd like her to visit your organisation, business, church, group, school or event. She is also a keen saxophonist, and would be more than happy to support community events.
Rebekah does not want to be just an influencer of how we should look on the outside, but she desires to be a positive role model to the next generation, encouraging them to see their potential, their attributes, their gifts, and their resources, that they can use for good! For as she always says...
The best person who can do you, is YOU!
