Women and girls deserve to feel safe, confident and able to take up space in their communities.

In Lancashire’s 2025 women’s safety consultation, 78% of women and girls surveyed said they had felt unsafe in public spaces frequently or sometimes over the previous year.

Under the Hub CIC is looking to deliver personal safety and self-defence workshops for women and girls aged 12+ in Preston and surrounding areas—and we want YOU to help shape them.

What would you like to learn? Where should we hold them? What would help you attend?

Please take a few minutes to complete our survey:

We’d love to hear from women, teenage girls, parents and carers. You don’t need any experience or have to commit to attending.

Please share this with friends and local groups so we can hear from as many people as possible. Your voice will help us create something that reflects what our community needs.

We’re Under the Hub CIC, and we’re looking to deliver personal safety and self-defence workshops for women and girls in our local community. We want your views to help shape the workshops: what you’d like to learn, where we should hold them, and what would make it easier for you to attend. You...

Under the Hub CIC has changed and it was time our brand reflected that. As we’ve grown, we’ve become clearer about what we’re here to do and the difference we want to make.

Our mission is simple:
To empower women to feel safe and confident through movement and exercise, self-defence, and personal safety

So while our name isn’t changing, the way we show up is 🙌🏼 A new look, a clearer purpose and three words that sum up what Under the Hub CIC is about:

MOVE. DEFEND. EMPOWER.

MOVE.
Using movement and exercise to build strength, confidence and connection.

DEFEND.
Learning practical self-defence skills that help women feel more capable and prepared.

EMPOWER.
Building the knowledge, confidence and personal-safety skills women can carry into everyday life.

This isn’t about becoming something different.
It’s about becoming clearer about who we already are and where we’re going!

Welcome to the next chapter of Under the Hub CIC…

MOVE. DEFEND. EMPOWER.

We LOVE this kind of feedback!

There are a lot of worries new mums face once their baby is here. Time for themselves and being able to get back to things they love such as sport and exercise is one of them.

Our Bloom & Move sessions help to break down those barriers - allowing you to get back to it with your baby right by your side 🙌🏼

Sport England funds this project and we are over the moon with the impact it is having on our ladies and their little ones 🤩

Fliss is our resident speed walker so if you fancy a face paced walk - up front with Fliss is the place to be 🤣
