Our chair and founder Dr Farzin Rahmani, has published three books which draw on his long career and life of service.
Home Care: A Practical Guide to Compassionate Caregiving
Caregiving is one of the oldest, most important, and most human acts in the world.
Every day, across homes, communities, hospitals, and care settings, millions of people quietly care for others with patience, kindness, compassion, and dignity. Some are professionally trained carers and nurses. Others are family members, friends, neighbours, or individuals who suddenly find themselves responsible for the care of another human being with little preparation or support.
This book is written especially for all of them. The purpose of this guide is not to overwhelm you with complicated medical language or academic theory. Instead, it has been written in a simple, clear, and
practical way so that learners from many backgrounds can understand and apply the guidance confidently in real life.
A Life In Service: It All Began With Medicine
Trained as an anaesthetist and later drawn into humanitarian work, Farzin Rahmani’s life has unfolded across operating theatres, remote communities, and places far from any spotlight. One day caring for patients, the next helping to build schools, support young people, or explain modern ideas in settings where resources were scarce but commitment was not.
A Life in Service is a reflective and gently humorous memoir about choosing purpose over recognition. It traces a journey shaped not by isolated achievements, but by continuity—how small beginnings grow into lasting initiatives, sustained by patience, collaboration, and the quiet support of many hands. Warm, honest, and deeply human, this is a story of responsibility shared rather than claimed and of work intended to endure beyond the individual. It reminds us that meaningful lives are often lived quietly, guided by perseverance, humility, and a sense of humour when plans don’t unfold as expected.
This is not a story of arrival, but of commitment — and of service that continues.
YES Young Entrepreneur Scheme: Empowering Young People Through Creativity, Enterprise and Opportunity
‘YES’ began with a simple but powerful belief that young people everywhere possess creativity, intelligence, dignity and enormous potential when given encouragement, guidance and practical opportunities.
The aim of YES has never been simply to teach business skills. Its deeper purpose has always been to encourage initiative, problem solving, ethical thinking and service to society, while helping students recognise their own ability to contribute positively to the world around them.
