Reflecting on last year and what a year it was for us! ✨

🏆 We were honoured to be awarded Small Business of the Year from Suffolk Chamber of Commerce, a milestone that recognises the passion, commitment, and hard work behind everything we do.

🥉 We also achieved our Bronze Achievement for the Get Set Program, marking an important step forward in strengthening our impact and growth.

Throughout the year, we had the privilege of teaming up on various projects, working alongside amazing partners such as East Suffolk Council, Lowestoft Vision, Heart 2 Heart Norfolk, Raymond James Quigleys Legacy & S&L Self-Harm Distraction Kits
- who share our mission of making communities safer and better prepared.

One of our proudest accomplishments was getting vital life-saving equipment out into the community! 🩸🫀⚡️

Including:
* 37 catastrophic bleed kits
* 4 new defibrillators
* 4 defibrillator cabinets
* 1 bleed cabinet
* 4 funded first aid courses for businesses in the Lowestoft district

And that’s not even including the many free CPR and catastrophic bleed demonstrations we delivered across communities throughout the year, ensuring more people have the knowledge and confidence to act when it matters most.

None of this would have been possible without the continued support of our partners, communities, and everyone who believes in what we do.

Here’s to hoping 2026 is just as impactful, successful, and rewarding as we continue to grow, collaborate, and save lives. 💙

I would like to wish all our staff, clients and followers on here the most fantastic New Year and all the best for 2026.

Tonight a well as being fun, exciting, an opportunity to party, it can also be hell. I have two dogs, one is so scared of fireworks he will be in a terrible state within the next few hours, as fireworks are already going off, in our area.
Its not just dogs however, it is our horses, wildlife, even cattle, that will also suffer tonight and many other nights, as fireworks have no limits with regards to when they are used.

So I will be thinking of those like me who are struggling tonight with animals. And also the people, who also can be badly affected due to PTSD or similar.

If you need someone to talk to, do not hesitate to message me tonight, I am more than happy to have a chat, listen to concerns and see in the New Year in a different, way 🥰

Today the defibrillator at The Green in Whitton went out for the first time. Thankfully, it was not needed in the end, but it’s reassuring to know it was there and ready if required.

A huge thank you to the local community at The Green for checking the unit and confirming it remained rescue-ready.🫀⚡️

We’re pleased to confirm that the defib is now back in the circuit and fully operational, ready should it ever be needed. 💙

As if this year hasn’t been good enough already… ✨

We’re incredibly proud to share that we’ve recently received the Bronze Award from Get Set UK with the Good Health @ Work Programme with Suffolk County Council.🥉

This recognition celebrates our ongoing commitment to creating a healthier, happier, and more supportive workplace for our employees. From open communication and wellbeing initiatives to inclusive working practices, this award reflects the values we actively live by every day.

This is a fantastic achievement, and we’re already working towards Silver.💙

🩸 Another Bleed Kit has been installed in the community, alongside a brand new AED & secure AED cabinet. This time at WADES in Lowestoft.⚡️

Located at the Bloodmoor crossroads, a particularly busy junction where accidents can and do occur, this lifesaving equipment will be invaluable in an emergency. While we hope it’s never needed, having it accessible could make all the difference when seconds count.

In partnership with Raymond James Quigleys Legacy.

The equipment was donated through Jenny Ceresa’s funding from the East Suffolk Council’s Enabling Communities Fund.

Another great step toward making our community and local area safer for everyone! 💙

🩸 Another Bleed Kit has been placed into the community, this time at The Volunteer Pub.

Following an incident involving knife crime at the venue a few months ago, it’s reassuring to know that a lifesaving bleed kit is now on site should an emergency ever occur again. We truly hope it’s never needed but being prepared can save lives when seconds matter.

In partnership with Raymond James Quigleys Legacy.

This kit has been made possible thanks to Jenny Ceresa’s funding through the East Suffolk Council’s Enabling Communities Fund, helping to strengthen safety across our local community. 💙

One more course on Tuesday and that will be a wrap for 2025.

This year we have covered a range of events, providing first aid cover. Delivered over 230 courses, with a combination of half day to 5 day courses. With over 1300 people trained. All covering a range of courses, including first aid, manual handling, safe moving of people, fire, food and health and safety.

Although we predominantly deliver first aid. The Safe Moving of People is another very popular course, for which we have a dedicated training room. Last week we had a really lovely comment from candidate, on her feedback form -

‘The BEST training I have ever taken/had in 10 years! This trainer and company Should be no1 in the UK to set these standard for ALL agencies, nursing homes and companies. Superior training.’

We occasionally get some negative feedback regarding space at our venue. To be honest we have increased numbers on our courses.

This has been for two reasons, one demand, we can only run so many open courses a month due to our trainers also delivering training at clients sites. We are very picky with regards to what trainers we employ. Many do not make our high standards so our team is small.

Two by adding these additional spaces we can hopefully keep our prices down.

In reality however, we can guarantee most casualties will not fall in a place that is convenient, warm, dry, have kneeling mats available and lots of space around them 😂
Oh and have a full range of teas, coffees and biscuits.

Our space is also restricted because of the amount of specialist equipment we have. We ensure every candidate has their own QCPR manikins to use. Some send up with a family of 3. We also use training AED units that are replicas of the real unit. Plus we have a wide range of additional manikins and equipment to use and enhance the training we offer. All of which need space to store them. We are however very inventive with regard to storage ideas and methods of training, plus making training realistic and memorable.

Over Christmas we are not stopping, we are planning to start recording a range of short training videos so look out for these in the New Year.

So after a very full and extremely busy 2025. Including winning ‘The Small Business of the Year Award’. We would like to wish all our clients, candidates and our FaceBook followers a very Merry Christmas and a fantastic 2026. 🎄

We warn all our candidates that most of these are dangerous. If you don’t pay £60* each device they are generally useless and dangerous. Remember the resuscitation council do not advocate their use.

🩸Another Bleed Kit has been placed in the community, this time at Carlton Colville Community Centre on Hall Road 💙
