Mental health and wellbeing matter so much.
Iโd even say mental health is more important than physical health.
๐ Good mental health helps you cope when physical health isnโt great.
๐ When both are struggling, everything becomes so much harder.
๐ And even when your physical health is fine, itโs your mental wellbeing that shapes how you truly feel.
๐ And yes โ chronic pain or long-term illness can absolutely affect mental health too.
Want to strengthen your mental wellbeing?
Want to support others?
Know someone who would benefit from these courses?
Our upcoming Mental Health & Wellbeing courses are open to the public โ and we can run sessions for your organisation too.

The right training can turn panic into purpose. Learn first aid skills that could make all the difference when it matters most.
โฑ Act fast: direct pressure, tourniquet (if trained), call for help.
Practical first aid training gives you confidence to respond when it matters most.
14/01/2026
Tourniquets can save livesโbut only if you know how to use them.
If you're not trained in their use, you could make matters worseโฆ
Our hands-on first aid training helps you respond with confidence when every second counts.

โฑ Seconds can save lives!
Catastrophic bleeding is severe, life-threatening bleeding.
Knowing how to respond immediatelyโpressure, tourniquet, and calling for helpโcould make all the difference.
๐ก Our courses give you the confidence and practical skills to act quickly.

Would you know what to do if someone was badly injured and bleeding heavily?
Catastrophic bleeding is life-threatening โ a person can bleed to death in just minutes without fast, effective action.
Thatโs why, as part of SkillUp!, we offer several training options to help people feel confident stepping in when it matters most:
๐บ A 1ยฝ-hour CPD-accredited virtual course
๐บ Practical training added onto First Aid courses
๐บ A full citizenAID course for major incidents and multiple casualties
These skills can save lives โ at work, in public, or at home.

Not all training is equal.
Tick-box courses are fast โ but trainer-led learning is effective.
When training is led by a real person, learners can:
โข Ask questions
โข Engagement leads to actual learning, not just reading and then quickly forgetting
โข Understand the why, not just the what
Thatโs why all our courses are trainer-led, whether delivered in person or live online โ and why they actually make a difference.

We also do bespoke training specific to the needs of your your own business or organisation.
Youโll be able to apply these skills, both in the workplace and in general life, after completing the course, making everyone safer. And HSE, Ofsted or CQC boxes can be ticked off.
Ever sat in a boring training session? How much did you learn in those? How much of that learning did you retain, and were you able to apply that knowledge in daily life?
We believe that learning should be fun, engaging, interactive and varied. Whatever the subject, you need to be engaged in order to learn effectively.
This is exactly what will happen when you join one of our training sessions. You will be fully engaged, you will learn in a supported and enabled way, you will actually enjoy yourself and have a bit of fun while learning about those more serious, and difficult, subjects.
Many of our courses are now available online, via tutor-led virtual classrooms and webinars, so you can train safely, knowing that you and your staff are safe from the virus, saving you travel costs and staff time besides.
