Be Prepared. Be Confident. Save a Life. ❤️
Yesterday our ladies attended a Basic Life Support session at the Victoria Mill building of UCLan University, Burnley, where they learned essential lifesaving skills including CPR, the recovery position, and how to use a defibrillator.
Participants gained the knowledge and confidence to recognise and respond to a cardiac arrest, helping them feel better prepared to act in an emergency.
A huge thank you to the team at UCLan, especially Nussrat Kazmi, for organising and delivering such an engaging and valuable session. Every person trained is another person who could help save a life.

💡 Taking Initiative & Building Confidence 💡
Participants stepped into the world of Dragons' Den, developing one of the most important employability skills: initiative — the ability to spot problems, create solutions, and take action.
Working in teams, they generated innovative product ideas and confidently pitched them to the "big boss", our Director, Anam Zubair.
The session helped participants build confidence, communication skills, creativity, and self-belief, encouraging them to think like future entrepreneurs and leaders rather than simply waiting for instructions.
A fantastic effort from everyone involved!

There’s nothing noble in being better than someone else.
Real greatness comes from becoming better than the person you were yesterday.
