🌙 First Aid at 4am? No problem!

In all our years of delivering first aid training across Northern Ireland, we’ve worked with all kinds of businesses in all kinds of places… but there’s always room for something new!

A few weeks ago, we ran an overnight first aid course for our valued clients at Moy Park, making sure their night shift workers could get trained at a time that suited them best.

While doing CPR at 4am might not be everyone’s idea of a good time, we’re proud to tailor our training to meet your needs – whatever they are.

💚 Huge thanks to our brilliant trainer Eileen for making it happen!

A lovely moment captured by our Ballymena Unit 💚

Two of our wonderful volunteers taking in the fireworks after a busy evening keeping the community safe.

It’s a reminder of the dedication our teams show - giving their time to support others, while still finding time to enjoy the events they help make possible.

💚 How it started vs. How it ended!

It’s been a busy day for our Larne Youth Unit, supporting the Antrim Coast Half Marathon alongside our adult unit. Our cadets helped staff the treatment centre and gained valuable experience in the field.

👏 A huge thank you to Alison and Billy from North Belfast Cadet Unit for coming along to help supervise!

For many students, university is the first time they’re fully independent. A little first aid knowledge makes a big difference.

What a summer it’s been so far for our volunteers from our North Belfast Unit! 🌞⚽🎶

From football at Seaview Park, to Friday nights in Lilian Park, right through to Féile, our teams have been out making sure everyone could enjoy themselves safely. It’s always great to see our volunteers giving up their time to support the community - we simply couldn’t do it without them! 💚

Big thanks to all involved (and to William for spotting celebrities, and Phil for rocking those ear defenders 😄).
