On a day where women across the world are celebrated, it s the perfect time to shine a light on some top female-led Cumbrian businesses. International Women s Day (March 8) aims to highlight the social, economic, cultural, and political achievements of women throughout the world. And with so many brilliant entrepreneurs, artists, bakers and more making their mark in Cumbria, today – IWD 2021 – is the perfect time to give them the praise they deserve. Owned by Sarah Wood, Carlisle s Freedom Chocolate offers a range of popular artisan chocolate products. After her family struggled with food allergies and intolerances, Sarah – with the help of her business partner and husband, Simon – set up the brand in October 2017, using her own unique recipes and raw ingredients to produce vegan- and allergy-friendly treats.

Have we reached critical maths? I recently read an article by Richard Prebble (NZ Herald, December 16) on why our Year 9 children were failing basic maths questions.
This from the article, as quoted by a principal. We do not do as well as we did in cultural activities, he answered. Our pupils get one chance to learn maths; they have a lifetime to appreciate culture.
