Flare is excited to announce that it is partnering with the Enactus Society at the University of York. This collaboration is designed to foster an intersectional and entrepreneurial perspective in Flare's development, while ensuring the safety and well-being of students.
Enactus York is part of a global program focused on nurturing the next generation of entrepreneurial leaders and social innovators.

Participation in Enactus offers students access to workshops, talks, networking events, and national and international competitions, enhancing their employability and practical experience.
Fiona Lodge, a member of Enactus York's Executive Committee, commented on the partnership, "This is the exact kind of thing I would want after a club night or heading home late from work as some areas are very poorly lit."
By integrating Flare’s one-tap emergency messaging feature into the activities of Enactus York, this partnership aims to provide an additional layer of security for students. Whether they are involved in late-night project work, attending club events, or traveling through poorly lit areas, students can now have peace of mind knowing that help is just a tap away.
