✨🎭Last night was fabulous 🎭✨ Madeleine France loves to get out of her blossom hoodie and joggers! Last night she attended the Family Burn Club Masquerade Charity Ball with family and friends. The event was full amazing people coming together with incredible support for such a powerful cause! Knowing the traumatic impact a burn can have on family’s Maddie holds this charity close to her heart. ♥️ This year has been especially meaningful, as Blossom Training and Development CIC has been able to deliver our empowerment and self-confidence training thanks to generous funding from Wakefield Children's Charity (responsible for WACCL). Seeing firsthand the positive impact this has on young lives is inspiring, and we’re beyond grateful for the chance to continue this journey of growth and resilience together. Creating smiles and building supportive friendships along the way. Thank you to everyone who joined our table and supported us last night. Here’s to building stronger futures! 🌸 UK Courier Shannon Sinadé van Zyl Tracy Foster BEM CLAIRE Sutherley DL #MasqueradeBall #BlossomTDC #EmpowermentThroughConfidence

🌸 Well that’s wrap for our input to Heart of Yorkshires Freshers Week, we had an amazing time at the Castleford College today! 🎉 It was great to meet so many new students and have some meaningful conversations about personal safety and the laws we have to protect us. Many sharing the fears of being followed and walking alone. We spoke about ways to make safer choices when planning routes and some great tech tips to stay safe! Including the WalkSafe app and all its features💡we also dispelled quite a few myths when it comes to self defence. We asked: ❓What makes you feel unsafe? ✅ What helps you feel safe? We're so grateful for the opportunity to work across all three Heart of Yorkshire colleges this year. Working to creating safer, more supportive environments for everyone. Let’s keep these important conversations going! 💬 Castleford College Heart of Yorkshire Education Group #CastlefordCollege #HeartOfYorkshireColleges #FreshersFair #Blossom #PersonalSafety #YourVoiceMatters 🌿
