Over 130 women completed our Domestic Abuse Awareness training sessions across all CHAI groups during January and February 💜 A huge thank you to Great Places Housing Group for supporting this important project and helping us reach so many women in our communities. Each group took part in 3 sessions/workshops, where we delivered bespoke training and raised key awareness around domestic abuse in a way that was culturally appropriate and meaningful. The mums took an active part throughout, and most importantly, they had a voice in safe, supportive spaces where they could talk openly and learn from one another. This awareness will have a ripple effect, as women take this knowledge back into their homes and communities, supporting others and helping to create positive change. We’re so proud of all the women who took part and the strength, openness, and support they showed each other throughout the sessions.

As part of Greater Manchester Hate Crime Awareness Week, during February and March our Deeplish CHAI Project delivered three sessions of our bespoke Hate Crime Awareness, Safety & Empowerment Training Programme with the amazing Deeplish Mums 💛 The group brought such honesty, strength and energy to each session, and it’s been inspiring to see their confidence grow. As part of this, they created a beautiful cohesion display with powerful key messages for the whole school community — a real reflection of unity and empowerment. All participants received certificates, safety & wellbeing goody bags, and we ended with a well-deserved meal out together 🎉 A big thank you to Rochdale Council for supporting this project and helping make it happen. We’re so proud of this brilliant group 💛

🌙✨ Eid Mubarak from all of us at the Women’s Chai Project ✨ We’re sending love and warm wishes to all those celebrating. May your Eid be filled with peace, joy, and meaningful moments with those you cherish most. We also take this moment to pray for peace across the world — that hearts are softened, communities are united, and compassion guides us all. 🤍 Wishing you continued strength, happiness, and togetherness. With love, The Women’s Chai Project, Care, Help and Inspire💛

🌸 International Women’s Day 2026 – #GiveToGain 🌸 Yesterday at our Freehold Chai Project, we had the pleasure of welcoming the truly inspirational couple Kashif Ashraf and Sabeen Ashraf as our guest speakers. They shared their powerful personal journeys and spoke from the heart about making a positive difference in our communities. Their message centred around the strength of women, the importance of supporting and uplifting one another, and inspiring mums to pursue careers, dreams, and opportunities with confidence. Kashif also spoke about the important role men play in supporting, encouraging and uplifting the women in their lives, reminding us that when men stand alongside women as allies, families and communities become stronger. 💜 In the spirit of #GiveToGain, Kashif and Sabeen also very kindly distributed household items from Ultimate Products, gifting them to the women who attended to help with the cost of living during this blessed month. This thoughtful gesture meant so much to everyone present. A huge thank you to Kashif and Sabeen for taking the time to join us, for sharing your inspiration, and for your generosity. Your words and kindness truly touched hearts and motivated so many women in our community. Together we continue to support, inspire and uplift one another. 🌷 #InternationalWomensDay #GiveToGain #Community #WomenSupportingWomen #MenSupportingWomen #FreeholdChaiProject #IWD2026
