Yesterday, the NKS Health & Wellbeing / Breaking Silence group hosted an informative and engaging session on childhood illness. The session covered key signs and symptoms to look out for, as well as practical guidance on accessing healthcare systems.

We were delighted to welcome 5th-year medical students from the University of Edinburgh — Zainab Razzaq, Huda, and Sima — who delivered the session with clarity, professionalism, and enthusiasm. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and helping empower our community with vital health information.

Last week, two of our NKS groups had the privilege of visiting the FCC Millerhill Centre in Edinburgh. Yesterday, it was the opportunity for our Indian Women’s Group to discover this remarkable facility!

The Millerhill Recycling and Energy Recovery Centre (RERC) is a state-of-the-art thermal treatment plant that processes up to 155,000 tonnes of residual non-hazardous waste each year, converting it into electricity and heat. ♻️⚡
It was an eye-opening and inspiring session for our group. They enjoyed learning about the critical importance of reducing, reusing, and recycling, and gained valuable insights into sustainable waste management practices.

A big thank you to FCC Millerhill for hosting us and showing us how innovation can help protect our planet! 🌍💚

🧵✨ **Another Successful Stitching Class at NKS Group!** ✨🧵

This Wednesday marked yet another positive and productive drop-in stitching session at NKS Group for our Wednesday Ladies Group. The session was full of learning, confidence-building, and hands-on experience.

Our wonderful instructor, Nazma Rahman, guided participants through essential sewing machine maintenance tips to help keep machines running smoothly and lasting longer. She also examined a few machines brought from home, identified common mechanical issues, and demonstrated practical fixes step by step.

What made the session especially valuable was Nazma sharing her own experience, empowering participants with the knowledge and confidence to handle similar issues independently at home in the future.

It was an engaging, empowering, and uplifting session — building skills, sharing knowledge, and supporting one another. We’re excited to see our ladies continue to grow in confidence and creativity! 💚👏

Participants experienced an eye-opening behind-the-scenes tour of the state-of-the-art thermal treatment plant, seeing first-hand how residual non-hazardous household waste from Edinburgh and Midlothian is transformed into energy. ⚡♻️

The feedback was incredible — everyone found the visit informative, engaging, and truly inspiring! It powerfully highlighted the importance of Reduce, Reuse, Recycle and reminded us that every action counts when it comes to tackling climate change. 🌱
Together, we’re learning, growing, and taking real steps toward a more sustainable future. Let’s keep the momentum going! 💚💪
