St James’ Park in Newcastle came alive with creativity and inspiration as #EmPowerCyber took center stage. The event brought together local school girls to take part in a series of workshops and activities, inviting them to explore the limitless possibilities of technology and cybersecurity careers - and most importantly have fun! Our colleagues helped make this event a success, sharing their expertise and skills to inspire the next generation of innovators. The energy and enthusiasm from all the participants was nothing short of amazing! 🤩 Thank you to our volunteers, partners and to the talented young minds who joined us. Together, we’re shaping a future where girls in #STEM lead with confidence and purpose. 💚 #WomenInTech #Innovation

Wow! A massive congratulations to Beatrice Whelan and the 35 volunteers who took part in this challenge - over 120km covered and 60,000 euros raised to support families with night nurse care at the end of life. A true example of human impact through volunteering.👏🌟 #GivingBack #SageFoundation #Volunteering
I was very fortunate last week to use my 5 Sage Foundation days to walk a stretch of the Camino in Northern Spain with the Irish Hospice Foundation. 35 volunteers walked over 120km together to reach the city of Burgos. It was a challenging but truly life changing week. I met incredible people, each with their own story that gave me a new perspective on life. Thank you to everyone that donated so I could hit my fundraising quota, and those that supported my fundraising efforts and events. I raised over 2,000 euro and in total the volunteers raised over 60,000 euro that will help hundreds of families with night nurse care at end of life. Thank you to Sage, Emma and Louise from Irish Hospice Foundation and our wonderful guides from Caminobytheway .
