Check Your First Aid Kit 💜

The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) and MHRA have issued an important update about non-sterile alcohol-free wipes.

➡️ Certain wipes, including some commonly found in first aid kits and homes, have been linked to an outbreak of Burkholderia stabilis bacterial infections in the UK.

There have been 59 confirmed cases, and one associated death has been reported.

➡️ Do NOT use non-sterile alcohol-free wipes:

---> On broken or damaged skin (wounds, cuts)
---> These products are not suitable and may pose a risk of infection.

➡️ What to do now:

---> Check your first aid kit
---> Remove & safely dispose of any non-sterile alcohol-free wipes
---> Only use sterile, medical-grade wipes or dressings on wounds

Taking a moment to check your supplies could help keep people safe, especially those who are vulnerable.

If you’re unsure which products are appropriate for wound care or how to properly stock a first aid kit, we’re here to help, drop us a DM or comment below 🙂

Blue Monday – Let’s Talk About It 💜

Firstly, 'Blue Monday' is not real.

It was a marketing invention - literally created by a travel company to sell holidays.

There’s no scientific evidence that the third Monday in January is the "most depressing day of the year.”

But that doesn’t mean people aren’t struggling.

January can feel heavy.

Post-holiday comedown, short days, cold weather, financial pressure, and high expectations for “new year, new me” energy.

So instead of feeding the myth, let’s talk about real ways to look after your mental health this winter:

If you’re feeling the January blues:

📅 Structure your week: Having small things to look forward to (like a walk, call with a friend, or planning your favourite meal) can lift your mood.

🌤 Get outside: Even 10-15 minutes of natural light can boost energy and regulate sleep.

📱 Watch your scroll time: Try swapping 5 mins of screen time for 5 mins of movement or music.

🎨 Create something: Painting, cooking, writing, even reorganising a drawer! Feeling productive, even on a small task, can boost our mood.

👥 Talk it out: You don’t need to be in crisis to talk to someone. Checking in with friends and family, too. They may be feeling the same.

We hope you have a great week, and let's shake off this idea of 'blue' Monday 💜

Christmas is a time for food, drinks, late nights and big emotions.
But it’s also a time when our hearts can be under a little more strain.

Research has shown that the risk of heart attack increases over the Christmas and New Year period, with the highest risk on Christmas Eve. In the UK, organisations like & have shared this data to encourage some gentle awareness.

The good news?
Small, thoughtful actions can genuinely make a difference.

This Christmas, a few tips:

⁠🎄 Drink water between alcoholic drinks
🎄 Go a little lighter on salty foods
🎄 Keep some gentle movement in your day
🎄 Check in on friends and family, especially older relatives

If someone feels chest pain, unusual breathlessness, nausea, sweating, or just “not right”, trust your instincts and get help. You won’t be “ruining Christmas”; you could be saving a life.

Looking after each other is one of the most important gifts we can give 💜🎁

Our teams are our greatest asset, so how well are we supporting their mental health?

Thankfully, we're seeing more and more companies are recognising that wellbeing isn't just a buzzword. It’s about real conversations, preventative support, and building a workplace culture where people feel seen and valued.

We deliver engaging, practical workshops to help teams:

✔️ Build mental health awareness
✔️ Understand stress and burnout
✔️ Support each other more confidently

Before any workshop or certification course, we set aside time to get to know the recipients, so we can best align the content to relate to their working life.

The more relatable it is, the more we understand, engage and process 🙂

DM us to book a workshop or a mental health first aid certification for your team.

Today is Day - a reminder that every minute counts in a cardiac emergency.

If someone collapses and isn’t breathing normally:

🔴 Call 999
👐 Start chest compressions
⚡ Use a defibrillator (AED) if one is available

You don’t need to be a medical professional to save a life.

You just need to act.

💬 Our CPR and defibrillator training can give you the confidence to help in those critical moments.

Let’s turn bystanders into lifesavers.

You can find free online CPR training at website.

📅 DM us to join our next accredited first aid course or book group training at your workplace.
