Amica Aesthetics was set up by its owner Claire Raby in 2015. After working in the field of semi-permanent makeup for many years, Claire always had an interest in Aesthetics, being a natural for attention-to-detail, and knowing what's aesthetically pleasing to the eye, she knew she would be a natural with the needle. Claire completed her training for dermal fillers & anti wrinkle treatments in 2015, and has since then gone on to complete many advanced aesthetics courses & masterclasses. Over the years she has never stopped expanding her skills. This enables her to offer the best service possible to clients. Claire has had years of experience in aesthetic injectables on all areas of the face, including offering facial contour packages the “Liquid Nose Job", PDO thread lifts and more. Claire decided in 2019 she wanted to share her expertise with other people going into the Industry, and went on to complete her teacher training. She now runs an AWARD WINNING fully accredited training academy in North Leeds. Claire has built up an excellent reputation, and 90% of her clients come from recommendations. The reviews on the Facebook and Instagram pages are all outstanding. Claire herself works from her main clinic and academy premises in Leeds. She has fully qualified and experienced staff members that have been personally trained by Claire, who offer clinic days at various locations in the U.K. due to popular demand for Amica Aesthetics services. Having such a passion for her work, shows in the consistent fantastic results!

Career Days

career days

Leeds

CareerDays.co.uk was founded by former teachers who often came across students unsure of which career to go into. Career advice plays a big part in a students school life but we found many students often had no idea what career they wanted and were ill equipped to make that decision without experiencing each one beforehand. Many of our students would, for example, decide at 17 that they were interested in medicine but had no idea of the intricacies involved in applying or even if their skillset matched a job in the field. Similarly we've had students from an early age determined to go into a career without having gained any work experience of it to ascertain if it actually might be for them. We started in 2014 by running medicine work experience days and since then we've grown to incorporate several other careers that students would benefit from gaining work experience in and learning about, to help make their decisions easier when it comes to choosing a potential career. We have set about forging relationships with key industry figures and today have an extensive network of professionals that we can call upon to help run our courses and offer the best advice and advantage to our students. We formed CareerDays.co.uk to offer students the chance to experience a career that may be of interest and give them an honest insight into the field so they can decide to commit to it or to look into alternate careers. Either way offering some valuable information to them in order to help them make the right career choices.

Baby Week Leeds

Leeds

Baby Week is a registered charity and aims to bring sectors and services together to promote the best start in life. The initiative was inspired by Brazil’s ‘Semana do Bebe’ (UNICEF 2010), following a visit to the country by Churchill Fellow Lucy Potter. Leeds hosted the first English speaking Baby Week in 2016 and since has had interest from several other towns and cities wanting to host their own celebrations. Since Baby Week became a registered charity, Bradford, Hull, Wakefield, Cheshire and Merseyside have organised their very own take on Baby Week Leeds. In 2019, we were nominated and came in second place as charity of the year by The British Journal of Midwifery Practice Awards (BJM). Over the past six years, hundreds of citywide events have been held with thousands of attendees including parents, expectant parents, practitioners and professionals , and of course babies! Each city hosting the week has the opportunity to celebrate and bring together the work of maternity and early years services, helping to raise awareness of the critical developmental growth stages and a real focus on the 1001 days in order to give every baby the best start in life. Baby Week is organised with Child Friendly Leeds with partnerships involving NHS Leeds, Leeds Teaching Hospitals, Leeds Dads, Public Health, Mumbler, and many more partners across all sectors. To mark the 5 years in 2020, Baby Week Leeds focussed on five of the 17 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals as a focus over the next few years: Good Health and Wellbeing, Reduced Inequality, Sustainable cities and communities, Climate action and No Poverty.
