Whoomp! There it is 👀🤣

So the presentation piece/certificate or whatever you want to call it FINALLY arrived today (just got home)

Not entirely sure how much weight this carries but - as I've posted/said before - I'm incredibly proud of this achievement considering the events of 2024 (🚗 🔥🏍️) and that I was running the business whilst employed full-time AND volunteering as a CFR.

Anyway, here's to a TURBO ACE 2026 for us all 💪🏼

Some great FAQs here

And just like that it was...

STOPPPP!!!!!!

You are a fan of supporting local, small, independent businesses are you not?

Did you know well over half of York's businesses are just that?

And it's lovely to see them being used by each other, locals and visitors alike on a daily basis.

But...
And it's a BIG one...

Not many people use local, small, independent businesses for their First Aid, Mental Health, Safeguarding, or Health, Safety and Fire training!
Why is that?!!
Seriously, please let us know because we can't work it out.

If you train with one of the big providers, what do you get?
🌭 Sausage factory style training
💰 A bit hit on your budget
😳 Often inexperienced trainers
🪧 A big name on a certificate
😳 Insufficient content
📈 You've helped a CEO buy a second or third home

Is the name really worth it?

If you use a local, small, independent business, you get:
🤓 Bespoke training tailored to you
😁 Fun, thorough, legally compliant training
⚕️ Trainers who've done the job for real
💰 Money in YOUR pocket
🫡 The satisfaction of knowing you've helped a local business stay afloat (probably just)

Please consider the bigger picture when booking the rest of your training for 2026 and beyond (less than half the price of the 'big hitters' normally)

Support local especially if YOU'RE local

When are we open?
All the time.
That's it.

If you need:
• First Aid (physical or mental health)
• Safeguarding
• Health, Safety and/or Fire
• Loads more
..get in touch.

Did you know that the majority of businesses in York are small, independent teams of less than 5 people?

We're all here to support each other, yet people still use the 'big charities' for their First Aid, costing them over twice as much for training that arguably doesn't actually comply with legislation.

Choose the best, not the name ⚕️

Get in touch for realistic training that focuses on you, not buying the CEO a third home

Accurate or nah?⚕️

Treated myself to a camera and mic setup thing or something...

Let's see where this takes Spartan Associates (and me, and Toinette, and the bike maybe)

Warning - reflective post 🪞

It's just dawned on me that tonight will be the 6th Christmas night in a row I've spent alone.

Had a lovely meal in an awesome place with awesome friends earlier, but as we all meandered off to our little corners, I found myself *by myself* yet again.
Although this time in a fetching goose hoodie (great present!)

Don't get me wrong: I was always the 'eternal singlie' and I've spent the majority of my life single by choice, but the last few months have seen me feeling lonely, not just being alone.

I know there are people (or maybe some geese) out there that I could reach out to, but events over the last year have made me crave *my* person - not just *a* person - to exist with every now and then.

I *LOVE* being alone and need it to survive but sometimes I long after that connection and the joy of putting someone else before yourself 🥹

Anyhoo, there are literally millions worse off and I'm thankful for what I do have, and as always 'it be r**t'

If you need help this Winter please ask for it; it's the hardest but most rewarding step.
Stay safe 💔💪🏼⚕️💚

...and on a serious note...
Thank you to EVERYONE who's been involved in the Spartan Associates journey over the last year.
It's been a tough, rough & tumble (literally) year or so but we're nearly at 2026 already and have been up 'n' running for 5.5 years 👀😭🤣

It wasn't until this year though that we've managed to concentrate on Spartan full-time, and without the support of all of you (some just by being there) I think we'd have given up on more than one occasion, so THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart 💚

Here's to some 'onwards and upwards action' for next year and beyond, for us all 🙏🏼
