Mini First Aid Belfast

27/07/2026

At Mini First Aid, we are incredibly proud to support the Children's Burns Trust, whose work over the last 25 years has helped educate families, prevent life-changing burn injuries and provide vital support to children and families when the unimaginable happens.

To celebrate this incredible milestone, some of the Mini First Aid network is taking on a fundraising challenge throughout August.

Together Mini First Aid Belfast, franchisees and trainers from across the UK will walk the distance from Mini First Aid HQ to the Children's Burns Trust HQ - an amazing 150 miles. Every step we take will help raise awareness of burns prevention, first aid and the fantastic work of the Children's Burns Trust.

Throughout August you can expect:
💚 Burns prevention and first aid tips
🚶 Updates from our 150-mile challenge
💚Opportunities to donate both online and at classes, with every penny going directly to the Children's Burns Trust

As a pharmacist and Mini First Aid trainer, I know just how quickly a burn can happen and how important it is to know what to do in those first crucial moments. If, together, we can help prevent even one child from suffering a serious burn or give one parent the confidence to act, every step will have been worth it.

Our challenge begins this weekend, and we'd love you to come along on the journey. Whether you donate, share our posts, join one of our classes or simply help us spread these life-saving messages, you'll be making a difference.

Here's to 150 miles, raising awareness, and celebrating 25 incredible years of the Children's Burns Trust 💚

First aid training is boring, right? Or is it?!

If you have to have a first aid qualification in your role at work, you probably dread those hours of watching dry presentations and demonstrations.

What if we told you that first aid training doesn’t have to be like that! Come and train with us! We have a range of certified workplace first aid courses and our teaching isn’t like all the rest.

Our sessions are practical, hands-on, scenario-based and fun! We believe people learn best when they are involved in what they are being taught.

Check out all of our workplace training options on our website now and get in touch for more info.

From September 2026, schools across England will be expected to meet new statutory allergy guidance introduced through Benedict’s Law.

Northern Ireland needs to introduce the same protections for our children with allergies ensuring safeguarding regardless of where we live in UK

FoodAllergy NI Benedict Blythe Foundation have been doing amazing work with the recent launch of the National Allergy Strategy in Stormont campaigning for legislative change here.

With around one in 13 children now living with a food allergy, the new guidance aims to ensure every school has consistent procedures in place to reduce the risk of allergic reactions and respond quickly and confidently if an emergency occurs.

Now is the time to review your school’s allergy procedures and prepare your staff.

Contact us Mini First Aid Belfast to enquire about our new Allergy & Anaphylaxis course for schools!

⚠️ Save this post! If you are wondering how you should dress your baby for sleep in hot temperatures this summer, check out this guide and save this post to refer back to🌡️

Babies and toddlers under 12 months old are not able to regulate their temperature very well, this function develops as they grow. All babies/toddlers are different and will begin to regulate their body temperatures at different stages so you will figure out what is right for your child.

Remember to touch the back of their neck with the back of your hand to assess body temp rather than checking their hands or feet. The neck should feel warm. If the baby feels hot or his/her skin is damp from sweating, remove some of the bedding. A normal temperature in babies and children is about 36.4C (NHS)

Use layers of clothing with a sleeping bag or lightweight blanket, that can be easily removed or added, while you try to find the right combination. If using a blanket or sheet, follow The Lullaby Trust guidance on placing baby on their back with their feet at the end of their cot or Moses basket, so they can’t wriggle down under their bedding, and ensure the blanket/sheet is tucked in firmly and not above shoulder height.

For older children, the guidance about ideal room temperature is largely the same.

Thank you to The Lullaby Trust for this guidance 💚

Mini First Aid classes for children aren’t about scaring little ones; they are about giving them the tools to know what to do if someone needs help. 💚

We role-play emergencies with our giant teddy so that children know what to do, how to call for help and how to keep calm in a crisis.

Our award-winning classes are specially designed to be fun, engaging and memorable.

Our brilliant trainers deliver these sessions in schools, nurseries, and youth groups, making learning first aid exciting!

We’re proud of our strong links with schools across the UK and would love to reach even more communities.
