A National Lottery winner from Sherborne is using her money to help mums looking to get back into work.

Zoe Hoare has created a free-to-use pop-up boutique shop in Taunton for currently unemployed mothers graduating from the Women's Work Lab programme.

It has been specifically created to help mums rebuild their confidence and embark on their employment journey.

Zoe, who scooped the £1 million prize on the EuroMillions Millionaire Raffle in 2017, has donated clothing as part of the project.

She said the project would help to provide a new 'back-to-work' wardrobe for those looking for new jobs:

I'm not for one minute suggesting that a new jumper is going to change their career path.

"What I do hope is that with a new outfit provided to them for going into work or into an interview environment, they do realise that somebody believes in them.

"It just helps them have that little extra spring in their step."
