As some parts of the UK are set to experience a warm one today, we're proud to support the Children's Burns Trust in raising awareness of the importance of sun safety.

The charity's latest data shows that severe sunburn injuries to children increased by 46.5% in 2025 compared to 2024. These are not minor sunburns – they are serious injuries requiring treatment in Specialist Burns Units.

Severe sunburn can cause significant pain, long-term damage and, in some cases, require specialist medical care. That's why it's so important to take simple steps to protect children while they're enjoying the warmer weather.

☀️ Seek shade during the hottest part of the day
🧢 Cover up with hats, lightweight clothing and sunglasses
🧴 Apply and regularly reapply high-factor sunscreen

Together with the Children's Burns Trust and RoSPA , we're helping to raise awareness of preventable burn injuries and encourage families to stay safe in the sun.

Lorraine is excited to be joining the All Things Bump to Baby event today at John Lewis & Partners Solihull as a guest.

This is a great event if you're expecting a baby, where you can go along and meet the Nursery specialist team, hear from local experts, and learn more about the All Things Baby service. Together, the team will cover everything from preparing for your baby's arrival to navigating those early days of parenthood.

There will also be live demonstrations, expert advice, and the opportunity to ask questions in a relaxed and welcoming environment.

Whether you're attending on your own or with your partner, family, or friends, Lorraine would love to see you there! 💚 👋

Sometimes, seeing is believing 👀

In this activity, 8 bottles of water represent the approximate amount of blood in the body, helping young people understand just how quickly life-threatening bleeding can become a medical emergency.

By making first aid visual, interactive and memorable, we give teenagers the confidence to recognise a serious bleed and know what to do while waiting for emergency services.

Life-threatening bleeding can't wait—and neither should learning how to respond!

Every group is different, which is why we tailor our sessions to their needs. If requested, we can include this additional teaching on life-threatening bleeding alongside the management of more common bleeding injuries, ensuring the content is appropriate, engaging and relevant for your group.

If you're looking for engaging, age-appropriate first aid training for your school, youth group or organisation, our bespoke sessions are designed to make life-saving skills stick.

Over at Mini First Aid Birmingham, we've had an incredible academic year, teaching approximately 4,000 children essential lifesaving skills! 🎉

The team have delivered sessions in 37 different settings, including nurseries, schools, Rainbows, colleges, home education groups, and charities.

Our Early Years, Kids, and Teens classes have continued to grow in popularity, with many schools and organisations inviting us back year after year. We're so grateful for your ongoing support! 💚

We're already looking forward to the autumn term and can't wait to get the ball rolling with all of our classes across Wolverhampton, South Staffordshire, and Lichfield - welcoming even more schools to our ever-growing Mini First Aid family.

If you'd like to help equip your children with essential lifesaving skills, we'd love to hear from you. Get in touch to find out how we can support your school or group!

Our football-obsessed households would never forgive us if we didn't grab a photo with Kane & Bellingham, even if we did have to bribe them with mimosas! 😂🥂

Come on England! 🦁🦁🦁

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

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 at Mini First Aid Wolverhampton to enquire about our new Allergy & Anaphylaxis course for schools!

What a brilliant day at the Greek Orthodox Cathedral of Apostolos Andreas Birmingham with their priests, chairpersons, and committee members! 💚

Today we delivered the Emergency First Aid at Work course, designed for smaller, low-risk working environments.

What an absolute dream team to teach. Everyone got stuck in, asked great questions, and threw themselves into the scenarios (some perhaps a little too enthusiastically! 😆).

Kate had an amazing day, and we're pretty sure the group did too. A special mention has to go to Father Christodoulos and Father Adam, who definitely kept us entertained and proved that priests can be just as competitive as everyone else! 😇😂

A huge thank you to you all for the warm welcome, plenty of laughs, and for taking such an important course so seriously. Hopefully you'll never need to use these skills—but if you do, you'll be ready! 🚑👏
