Vanilla Orchid is a bakery that creates luxury, bespoke cakes for every occasion. From baking for family and friends, the demand for Hope Mutongwizo cake has grown and she now has corporate clients as well as wedding and birthday requests. She heard about the "Fit for Legacy" programme through a friend and was particularly interested in the free events programme offered by FfL. As a small, women-led business, Hope wanted to understand how she could grow her business and develop a marketing strategy with limited funds. She wanted to gain more confidence as a businesswomen and also be comfortable pitching for more business. The team at FfL suggested a series of workshops and seminars which helped Vanilla Orchid Bakery develop the necessary skills to grow the business. Hope firstly attended various courses designed to give Vanilla Orchid Bakery the skills to develop its marketing strategy and improve pitches and presentations. Secondly, Hope attended a series of "Women in Business" events in collaboration with Sev NECATI training, where she was able to work on her own personal development to improve communications and self esteem. Hope was able to put these newly developed skills into practice and consequently, she was quickly able to see the value as she secured a large new contract win with major fashion label Kenzo. "What attracted me to the FfL programme were the amazing seminars and events and they are Free! Just because (as a small business) I didn't have money, this didn't mean I couldn't develop a marketing strategy. The FfL team have given me this opportunity to learn and I now understand and appreciate the benefits of investing in yourself. Once you have invested in yourself this will help grow and develop the business." Hope Mutongwizo - Founder of Vanilla Orchid Bakery.

A young man called Steve has been having problems with anger. His family have asked him to get help because it has become an issue for the whole family. Steve lives in one of the most deprived areas where guns, gangs and violence is a big problem. Steve uses anger as a way of protecting himself from this lifestyle.

After experiencing one of our training courses:
One young man who took part told me the following week that someone had attempted to mug him that weekend and he had immediately thought about all the things he learned in your session which really helped him – this is testament to how valuable sessions like yours are to young people.

Success Stories

 All names of our clients have to be changed for client confidentially purposes.

Rachel attended our training course, which was run over a number of weeks.

Rachel had experienced some problems as a female living in London alone.  Rachel wanted to increase her confidence and self-esteem.

1. Why you decided to do the Personal Safety course on "Street Safety" and the talk on "Managing Workplace Conflict"?

What lead me to do both were the challenging and hostile realities that I face living in London as a female. On a daily basis I face difficulties in accessing services, the transport system. At work having to deal with aggression and conflict. My personal experience has shown me that safety is especially important for a female from an ethnic minority.

2. Did you have any fears or problems before you decided to do the course?

Yes. I have experienced some tricky situations in public places where some individuals have tried to intimidate and threaten me. There and then I felt particularly vulnerable as I was alone.

3. What did you enjoy most about the training and talk?

The training course made me more aware of tools and resources that I could use in emergency situations. It showed me that there are effective ways of prevention, how to stay safe and protect oneself. "Sev you were great at nurturing assertiveness and confidence as well as showing how to evaluate tricky situations".

4. How do you think it has changed you, your perceptions of staying safe on the street, workplace etc? The course affected me in many ways as I learned that being alert, vigilant as well as being prepared and cool headed can assist me on a daily basis. It also showed how to regard the potential aggressor in a different perspective.

"I recommend the personal safety course and your services as a reliable and positive experience. I learned with you how to use personal safety tools and available resources in public places effectively. You also showed how to use prevention, verbal and physical tactics very well."

After training with us over a number of weeks Rachel has increased her self-esteem and confidence levels.  She understands why she had become a repeat victim and through the strategies and techniques she learned she was able to empower herself.

Rachel became empowered through knowledge, such as understanding her rights and how to change her perceptions of others.

Rachel has completed her training course with us. She wishes to learn more about the subject, as she understands how valuable the training has been to her.
