⭐ Your words light us up! ⭐

Every review is a reminder of the impact training can have - from learning vital first aid to walking away with confidence that sticks.

We’re so grateful for your trust, your energy in the classroom, and the way you carry those skills forward into everyday life.

Here’s to more everyday heroes, just like you. 🦸‍♂️

🌍💚 This World First Aid Day, let’s celebrate the power of life-saving knowledge!

Every second Saturday in September is World First Aid Day, a chance to recognise the skills that empower everyday heroes to save lives.

We’ve pulled together our Top 5 First Aid Blogs packed with practical tips, real-world scenarios, and confidence-boosting know-how. Whether you’re a seasoned first aider or just starting your journey, there’s something here to inspire you.

Check out the blog here: https://buff.ly/5xkjVdl

Why? Because first aid isn’t just a skill - it’s the power to make a difference when it matters most.

Take a moment today to refresh your knowledge, share with a friend, and be ready to step up with confidence when someone needs you.

Every 90 minutes, someone in the UK or Ireland tragically loses their life to su***de, and 1 in 4 of us has had suicidal thoughts.

💚 Today is World Su***de Prevention Day, and this year we’re supporting Samaritans in sharing a vital message: “Su***de is not inevitable. You can interrupt someone’s suicidal thoughts. You can save a life.”

As part of the 2024–2026 theme, “Changing the Narrative on Su***de,” the International Association for Su***de Prevention (IASP) reminds us that breaking the silence and starting real, heartfelt conversations can make all the difference.

What can you do?
- Reach out with a kind word or a listening ear.
- Use Samaritans’ range of support options - https://buff.ly/Z7eyMa1

Even a small interruption could save a life.

Let’s shift from silence to empathy. Together, we can change the narrative, and prevent su***de.

⚠️ Emergency Alert Test – Sunday 7 September at 3pm

We’re sharing this important update from the UK Government:

At 3pm on Sunday, most phones across the UK will make a loud siren-like sound, vibrate, and show a message. This is a test of the Emergency Alerts system — no action is needed.

💙 For many, it’s just a test. But if this might not be safe for you, a family member, or a colleague (for example if you have a hidden phone or loud alarms could be distressing), you can switch alerts off in your phone settings.

Find step-by-step guidance and accessible resources here:
👉 gov.uk/alerts

We’re not the Government — we’re just helping spread the word to keep people informed and safe. Please share this with anyone who might need to know.

It’s Self-Care September! ✨
Looking after our wellbeing isn’t a luxury - it’s a necessity.

Small acts of self-care, like pausing, moving your body, or setting boundaries, can make a big difference. That’s why we’ve created our Self-Care Guide to help you recharge in simple, sustainable ways.

This month, let’s put ourselves first. 💙
What’s one self-care habit you’ll start (or restart) in September?

🐶✨ Happy International Dog Day from the SkillBase pack! ✨🐶

Meet the pup heroes behind the scenes… our 16 four-legged team members who keep us smiling, moving, and occasionally chasing tennis balls during meetings.

Dogs are incredible companions, boosting our mental and physical health, encouraging walks (even in the rain!), and bringing endless joy, comfort, and laughs… most of the time! 😅

Whether they’re curled up under desks, stealing the spotlight on our video calls, or providing post-training cuddles, we wouldn’t be without them. Here's to the dogs who make every day better. 🐕

We’re proud to be a little bit different

Emergencies happen.

On ordinary days, for ordinary people, life can change in a heartbeat.

In a heartbeat, it’s three o’clock in the morning and your neighbour is frantically knocking on your door because their toddler has stopped breathing and is turning blue.

In a heartbeat, you’re driving home from work, a cyclist has been knocked over and may have life-changing injuries, he’s someone’s Dad and someone’s partner.
