💛 Wellbeing Intervention Award

Not every life-saving act involves CPR.

Sometimes it’s a conversation.
Sometimes it’s noticing the signs.
Sometimes it’s stepping in before a crisis becomes an emergency.

The Wellbeing Intervention Award recognises individuals who identified risk, offered support, and made a critical difference to someone’s mental or emotional wellbeing.

Early action saves lives. Prevention matters.

Do you know someone who stepped in when it mattered most?

Nominate them today and help us recognise the power of intervention.

🚨 Would you know what to do if someone stopped breathing?

Many people think you have to give mouth-to-mouth.

You don’t.

Hands-only CPR — pushing hard and fast in the centre of the chest — can help keep blood flowing until paramedics arrive.

If someone is unresponsive and not breathing normally:

1️⃣ Call 999 immediately
2️⃣ Start chest compressions
3️⃣ Follow the call handler’s instructions

CPR doesn’t have to be perfect. It just has to start.

At Community Medics, we believe confidence saves lives. 💛

Follow us for more tips.

💛 Life Saving Teamwork Award

When an emergency happens, teamwork matters.
Not one hero, but many people moving as one. That could include:

Someone calling 999.
Someone starting CPR.
Someone clearing space.
Someone getting the AED.
Someone keeping everyone calm.

Emergencies aren’t won by panic. They are won by people working together.
The Life Saving Teamwork Award, part of the Greater Manchester Life Saving Awards, recognises groups who acted together effectively in a real emergency.

You don’t have to be professionals and you don’t have to get everything perfect.
You just had to step in, together, as team, when it counted.

If you know a group (friends, colleagues, sports team, school staff, or community group) who took lifesaving action between 1 January 2024 and 31 July 2026, we want to hear their story.

Nominations close 31 July 2026

Let’s recognise the power of teamwork in our communities 💛

💛 Young Life Saver Award

When an emergency happens, instinct matters.

Before adults take control.
Before professionals arrive.
Before anyone fully understands what’s happening.

Sometimes, it’s a young person who steps forward.

A young person who calls 999.
A young person who starts CPR.
A young person who helps someone who is bleeding.
A young person who refuses to stand back.

The Young Life Saver Award, part of the Greater Manchester Life Saving Awards, recognises that bravery.

You don’t have to be over 18.
You don’t have to be trained for years.
You just had to act when it mattered.

If you know a young person (aged 17 or under) who took lifesaving action between 1 January 2024 and 31 July 2026, we want to hear their story.

❤️ Bystander CPR Hero Award

When someone collapses in cardiac arrest, the first few minutes matter.

Before paramedics arrive.
Before advanced equipment.
Before sirens are heard.

It’s often a member of the public who steps forward.

Someone who starts CPR.
Someone who uses a defibrillator for the first time.
Someone who calls for help and keeps going.

The Bystander CPR Hero Award, part of the Greater Manchester Life Saving Awards, recognises that courage.

You don’t need to be medically trained.
You don’t need to think you did it “perfectly”.
You just needed to try.

If you know someone who stepped forward during a cardiac arrest between 1 January 2024 and 31 July 2026, we want to hear their story.

💙 Volunteer Induction Day – Thank You! 💙

Last week we held an in-person welcome and induction event for our newest volunteers, and it was fantastic to meet so many passionate people who want to make a difference in their communities.

The day was all about getting to know Community Medics, sharing our vision and values, and having honest conversations about volunteering, learning, and supporting one another. From introductions and chats to practical discussions, it was great to see such enthusiasm and commitment in the room.

A huge thank you to everyone who attended and to our team who helped make the day run smoothly. We’re really excited to welcome our new volunteers and see the positive impact they’ll have as part of Community Medics.

Welcome to the team 💪🚑💙

It’s Wellbeing Wednesday!

Today’s top tip: Wash your hands often! 💦

Good hand hygiene is one of the simplest and most effective ways to protect your health and the health of others. Washing your hands regularly helps prevent the spread of germs, infections, and illness, especially before eating, after using the toilet, and after being out and about.

Use soap and water, wash for at least 20 seconds, and don’t forget those thumbs and fingertips!

When’s the last time you washed your hands today? 👀👇

It’s Wellbeing Wednesday!

Today’s top tip: Stretch your body every day! 🧘‍🤸‍♀️

Daily stretching helps keep your muscles flexible, reduces stiffness, improves circulation, and can even ease stress. It is especially helpful if you spend a lot of time sitting, standing, or doing repetitive tasks.

You don’t need a full routine, just a few gentle stretches in the morning, during breaks, or before bed can make a big difference. Listen to your body and stretch within your comfort zone.

When do you like to stretch most, morning, daytime, or evening? Let us know in the comments 👇
