Members, including Qaisar Bukhari, Farhat Abbas, Hasan Raza, Atiq ur Rehman, and Chaudhry Altaf Shahid and Asif Mogul, expressed pride in being part of a Press Club that not only makes verbal claims but actively participates in practical efforts.

Raja Aamir Maqsood, Chaudhry Azhar Ohri, and Aamir Khan stated that the awards given to members of the Press Club by various organizations last year for their journalistic services are proof that all members associated with the Press Club are contributing to the field of journalism.

Chairman Ijaz Afzal Sheikh praised the Press Club’s performance and stated that journalists and the public in the UK greatly appreciate its work. The Press Club not only delivers timely information but also raises its voice in support of journalists’ rights. Under the guidance of the Press Club, workshops for journalists have been established to enhance their professional skills.
