Creating safer workplaces starts with giving people the confidence to act when it matters most.

Recently, our training team delivered an on-site First Aid at Work course for the team at Dunbia, helping participants develop the practical skills and knowledge needed to respond in an emergency.

We deliver accredited first aid training across Northern Ireland, tailoring courses to meet the needs of organisations and their teams.

A fun evening, a lot of curiosity, and plenty of lifesaving skills being shared 💚

Our Dufferin Cadets were proud to support Ballymagee Primary School's annual fair, helping children and families learn more about CPR, choking awareness and the role of our volunteers.

It was especially encouraging to see our cadets leading demonstrations and sharing their knowledge with confidence, inspiring others to learn skills that could one day help save a life.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by to say hello and get involved.

More than 200 pharmacy students at Queen’s University Belfast recently completed a bespoke first aid programme delivered by our training team.

Working closely with NICPLD, we adapted our training to meet the specific needs of pharmacy students, helping equip future healthcare professionals with practical first aid skills and the confidence to respond in an emergency.

Every audience is different. That's why we work with organisations across Northern Ireland to deliver training that meets their unique needs.

A simple act of generosity can make a lasting difference 💚

After supporting Beaver Rally Day earlier this month, our Belfast HQT volunteers were delighted to receive a donation from the Northern Ireland Beaver Scout Team towards their ambulance fund.

The donation will help volunteers continue to maintain and equip their ambulances, supporting communities across Northern Ireland for years to come.

Thank you to everyone involved for their kindness and support. Partnerships like these help make our work possible.
