As part of Salford City College Group’s ongoing celebrations for International Women’s Day, Future Skills hosted a Celebrating Women event—an inspiring gathering dedicated to showcasing the incredible contributions of women in Salford. The event featured a diverse range of local talents, from craft and makeup workshops to engaging guest speakers and entertainment. It provided a fantastic opportunity for women across the community to connect, network, and celebrate the achievements of local women.

Building Community: The Power of Connection

Community is at the core of our values at Salford City College. The Celebrating Women event was more than just a celebration—it was a space for meaningful connections, where women from diverse backgrounds came together to share their experiences, aspirations, and challenges in an open and supportive environment. With a range of interactive activities and thought-provoking discussions, attendees left feeling inspired and empowered.
