‘Saheli, knitting, crochet & me’ by Ambreen Majid
I felt nervous but excited talking about it (the big move). Embracing a new adventure, a new chapter of our lives. Of course I’d lived in London all my life and the thought of moving to a whole new city was daunting but everything has a first time. I guess...

Hema joined Saheli in 2018, bringing her many skills and passions to support other women achieve their goals.
‘My Saheli Journey’ by Maisie Dill
“Would you like to come along to the gym with me?” “Where is this gym?” I asked. She replied: ”Around the corner.” I said: “Are you saying there is a gym not too far from here, and I never knew about it?” Oh, yes, there was SAHELI!
Testimonials

“I have lost 3 stone because I had a routine with Saheli which pushed me to eat well alongside all the encouragement they gave me to get fit.I show others now, how to get involved in being more active.”
“This morning has been one of the best mornings of my life! At the tender age of 27, I have finally managed to learn how to ride a bike. A massive thank you to the Saheli Hub – amazing instructors, full of life and smiles in the morning with lots of encouragement. I couldn’t have done it without this group. Love it!”
“I lost my husband three weeks before I found Saheli Hub. They helped me to get myself together without being a burden on my family”.
“These sessions are amazing – a choice of fitness classes or badminton. I can’t wait to go to sleep on Thursday night as I can’t wait to get up on Friday morning and play badminton and see the usual crowd.”
“An excellent class. Something I look forward to every week. Beneficial in every way – physical, emotional and social. Thank You.”
