Avril Grant

Born in Birmingham into a Caribbean background in a single parent family, Avril  went through the struggle of a broken community. However, she also had great luck in coming from a family that valued education and learning. She left sixth form to start university while working in accounts, but failed to finish her first year as Avril Grant became a young mum. Even more determined to succeed, she returned to education to gain an accountancy technician qualification and worked for several years in accounts. After no longer finding the work fulfilling and keen to do something that would be more purposeful and meaningful, she set up AVision for Empowerment a social enterprise that is the driving force for inspiring and motivating people towards achieving their career goals.

Avril Grant  is passionate about people and activating their potential. She speaks and inspires people from all walks of life towards positive sustainable change and has 7 years experience in delivering her inspirational workshops and accredited programmes to companies, schools and to the country’s hardest to reach audiences in 17 prisons across the UK. She devotes herself to making a difference to people’s lives and has helped many people achieve their career goals.
