🎓 Leaving school is exciting—but also a leap into the unknown.
New environments, new freedoms, and, sometimes, new risks.

At Soar With Us, we believe every young person deserves the tools to move forward confidently and safely.
Our personal safety & self-defence workshops equip school leavers with:

✅ Practical strategies to recognise and avoid danger
✅ Confidence to set boundaries and respond to threats
✅ A trauma-informed approach that empowers, not alarms

We don't tell young people to limit their lives—we help them step into them boldly.

💬 “I feel so much more confident walking to uni and being out with friends.” — Workshop Participant, 18

📍If you're a sixth form, college, youth programme or university preparing students for their next chapter—we’d love to support you.

Confidence isn’t just a feeling—it’s measurable.

At Soar With Us, we use the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale to assess the impact of our personal safety and self-defence workshops.

We recently asked participants to respond to this powerful statement:

💬 “I feel that I am a person of worth.”

Before our 2-hour workshop:
🔸 20 strongly agreed
🔸 60 agreed
🔸 20 disagreed

After the workshop:
✅ 38 strongly agreed
✅ 62 agreed
🚫 0 disagreed

That’s a 100% reduction in self-doubt—in just two hours.

But the benefits go beyond the session. Higher self-esteem is linked to:

Greater workplace confidence and communication

Improved learning and engagement in education

Stronger mental health and resilience

More connected and active communities

💡 When people feel stronger, they show up differently—in every part of their lives.

At Soar With Us, we teach practical self-defence skills that shift mindsets and build real, lasting confidence.

📅 Want to bring this impact to your workplace, school, or community? Let’s connect.

💬 Why Workplace Self-Defence Training Is a Must in 2025

Let’s talk about something that often goes unspoken at work: feeling safe. Not just psychologically, but physically.

In 2025, self-defence training should no longer be seen as “nice to have.” It’s a basic act of care—a way for organizations to say, “We see you. We want you to feel safe here.”

Because the truth is:

🤝 Not everyone walks into work feeling secure.
🧠 Fear can impact mental health, productivity, and trust.
🛡️ Personal Safety & Self-defence training isn't about teaching people to fight. It's about giving them tools to feel strong, aware, and supported.

Imagine how powerful it is when a workplace says:
“Your safety matters to us. We’re investing in you—not just as an employee, but as a person.”

It’s time we treat safety seriously.

✨ Let's normalize conversations around workplace safety. Let’s lead with empathy.

If you need to get away in a hurry, reversing out of a spot can lose you important time. Make a habit of parking with your bonnet to the exit, so you know you can get away quickly.

Happy memories of training with our friends at Kiran Support. We have been back 3 times in the past few months and love working with these amazing women. Much love to all x

You never know how much you can trust a lock, or even if there will be one. Use it on the inside of your door, to prevent anyone you don’t want entering from opening it from the outside. Easy to use, and portable. We don’t travel anywhere without a door wedge.

I spent yesterday with my Mum (82) and Daughter (20), and we found ourselves reflecting that we have all experienced, or had friends who experienced sexual assault. This culture of abuse affects every generation, globally. What does society need to do to end the cycle?

Here’s some photos and clips from our recent self defence session at Reading! Learning how to protect the head, resist being pushed, and create distance using footwork are some of our core skills we teach.

Recently we added a conversation about ‘Receiving Disclosure’ to our workshop offerings. We did this as we realised many of us have been there for someone when they shared a secret with us and have been anxious about whether we said or did the right thing . It’s such an important moment full of anxiety for the person sharing -and we wanted to share our thoughts on getting it right.

These are some clips from our knife crime segment of our recent Reading event. Sadly knife crime is a reality for many people. Most victims / survivors of domestic abuse and or sexual abuse have been threatened and or attacked with a “sharp” of some kind. We always try to include resisting a knife attack in our workshops. We hope no one ever needs to use these skills.

We would love to recognise and celebrate the two women who made our recent event in Reading happen! Andrea Malcom (pink top!) organized an amazing training day for the Reading Community. In addition to her work with Shhh Menopause she organizes events like this in her spare time - raising awareness and empowering action around violence against women and girls. Angela Sterling-Noel (blue top!)
was our on-site psycho therapist for the event, and provided invaluable support. Both Angela and Andrea are absolutely brilliant and look forward to working with them again!

We recently delivered a full day Personal Safety & Self Defence event in Reading. Thank you to the Reading Safer Community Partnership for sponsoring it.

The day was a tremendous success, with participants fully engaged and leaving the session feeling more confident and empowered—exactly the outcome we had hoped for.
