🎓 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.

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.
✨ Contact us to see how we can help.

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.

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?

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.
