💚 World Mental Health Day 💚

This year’s theme, “Access to Services: Mental Health in Catastrophes and Emergencies,” reminds us how vital it is that everyone can get the support they need — especially during challenging times.
At Proper Care, we see how important mental wellbeing is for both the people we care for and our amazing team. Today, let’s remember that no one should face struggles alone, and even small acts of support can make a big difference. 💬💚

🎉✨ Today marks 20 years since David Carmichael founded Proper Care Cornwall! ✨🎉
What an incredible journey it has been – over the past two decades, we’ve had the privilege of caring for hundreds of vulnerable and elderly people in our community. Along the way, we’ve also been lucky enough to employ some truly amazing local people, helping them grow into compassionate, skilled carers, with some going on to build inspiring careers in nursing and other areas of health care. 💙
To celebrate this milestone, we held a surprise party for David on Saturday – and what a night it was! 🥳 A huge thank you to everyone who came along and made it so special for him. Special thanks also to Henlys Wine Bar Cafe Bistro and their fantastic team for looking after us so well, and of course an extra big shoutout to the fabulous Betty Swallocks for providing such brilliant entertainment! 💃🎶
Here’s to the past 20 years – and to many more to come! Congratulations David and Happy Anniversary Proper Care! 🥂

📣 Meet the Co-Responders 📣

👨‍🚒 Continuing our Meet the Co-Responders Series, this is Kirk Bird, who has served in the fire service for nearly 8 years, and has been a proud Co-Responder for the past 4 with St Keverne Fire-brigade.

💬 “Helping people in our community is a massive part of my heart—when that pager goes off, I’m ready to be there.”

Kirk has attended many incidents, from cardiac arrests and breathing difficulties to traumatic injuries. Like many Co-Responders, he arrives before an ambulance to deliver vital care when every second matters.

🌟 Highlight Moment:
“One call that’s always stayed with me was to an elderly lady who called in with a heart attack and chest pains. I held her hand while we worked to stabilise her, and she looked at me and said, ‘Thank you so much for what you do for our community.’ She gave me a kiss on the cheek—and that moment has stayed with me ever since.”

🫵How can you help?
✍️Sign our petition, it is free to sign and please verify your signature. https://chng.it/5JQpXP4R7w
✉️send us a story on how co-responders have supported you or a loved one.

Let's all show our support for the group advocating for the Fire Co-Responders in Cornwall, as they raise awareness about the decision to phase out these life-saving services from the South Western Ambulance. Their efforts are vital in highlighting the potential impact on community safety and emergency response, so please consider backing their cause to ensure these essential responders are preserved.
