Last Saturday, a fantastic group of Emmett's Genies volunteers spent the day completing Mental Health First Aid training ahead of this year's Year in a Day event.
A huge thank you to Chris from 4 Minutes First Aid Training for delivering such an engaging and valuable course. Andy and the team at 4 Minutes First Aid are incredibly generous supporters of Emmett's Genies and kindly provided the training completely free of charge. We are so grateful for your continued support. π
We'd also like to thank our Ambassador, Mike Pearse, for once again allowing us to use Ashmead Combined School as the venue for the training. Your ongoing support of our charity means so much.
Supporting families of critically and terminally ill children at our Year in a Day is about creating magical memories. At times we need to be there to listen, offer reassurance and signpost towards the right support when it's needed most.
Thanks to this training, our volunteers now feel confident in their roles as Mental Health First Aiders, ready to support both our beneficiary families and our amazing volunteers during this year's Year in a Day event.
Thank you to everyone who gave up their Saturday to invest in learning new skills. Together, we're making sure every family who joins us feels safe, supported and cared for. πβ¨
