💓 It only takes minutes to learn a skill that could save a life.

Today is Restart a Heart Day. A reminder that CPR isn’t just something for medics or TV dramas. It’s quick to learn, simple to remember, and can make the difference between life and death.

In our training sessions, we create heroes on standby = people with the confidence to step forward when it matters most.

💪 Be someone’s hero.

💚 Today is World Mental Health Day.

A moment to pause, reflect, and check in - with others, and with yourself.

It can be as simple as:
✨ “How are you, really?”
✨ Taking a breather between meetings
✨ Reaching out for a chat
✨ Giving yourself permission to rest

Because every conversation counts.
Every act of kindness helps.
And every day is mental health day. 🌍

Let’s keep the check-ins going, today and every day. 💬

🌍 World Mental Health Day 🌍

Mental Wellbeing First Aid Trainer, Therapist and Coach, Tracey Dangerfield, shares an important reflection in this video, all about the power of listening before signposting.

When someone opens up to us about their mental health, our first instinct might be to direct them elsewhere, to a GP, a charity, or a helpline. But sometimes, what they need most in that moment is us. 💚

As Tracey explains, jumping straight to signposting can unintentionally send the message:
“the help is over there - not here.”

Instead, we can make a huge difference simply by holding space, listening with empathy, and giving someone the chance to talk. When the time feels right, we can gently explore options together and empower them to take their next step.

Because sometimes, being that first listening ear is the most powerful form of support.

🎥 Watch Tracey’s video to hear her thoughts on why active listening matters, not just on , but every day.

🌍 World Mental Health Day 🌍

Mental Wellbeing First Aid Instructor, John Cappellar, shares a powerful reflection in our new video, 'Behind Closed Doors'.

On a long dog walk, John exchanged pleasantries with around 100 people. Later, he remembered the statistic that 1 in 4 people will experience a mental health problem each year, meaning up to 25 of those smiling faces might have been struggling behind closed doors.

So today, take a moment to check in on a friend, family member, or colleague. Be a listening ear. Activate those hero empathy skills.
A simple conversation could make all the difference.

We believe in raising awareness not just on , but every day.
Let’s keep talking. Let’s keep caring. 💚

🎥 Watch 'Behind Closed Doors' with John now.

We’re proud to be a little bit different

Emergencies happen.

On ordinary days, for ordinary people, life can change in a heartbeat.

In a heartbeat, it’s three o’clock in the morning and your neighbour is frantically knocking on your door because their toddler has stopped breathing and is turning blue.

In a heartbeat, you’re driving home from work, a cyclist has been knocked over and may have life-changing injuries, he’s someone’s Dad and someone’s partner.
