Alison Davies, Programme Manager of Lancashire’s Social Enterprise Network Selnet, has been recognised as one of the UK’s leading women in social enterprise by Pioneers Post.
We are Z’s Defence Academy, a local community-based organisation for women and girls based in Blackburn. For 4 years we concentrated solely on self-defence classes, post COVID we have expanded into other forms of fitness and health and well-being.
We are an independent school set up to support those pupils who are unable to thrive in mainstream education. All pupils have SEMH needs and are from some of the most disadvantaged families in the county. We offer personalised education to include outdoor education, access to the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award Scheme and residential retreats.
In partnership with Boost, Selnet are leading the Flying Start service and bring together a team of experienced advisers.
