This is the last post for me! Tomorrow (18th April 2026) is my last day with Mini First Aid. I have made the decision to step away from the Mini First Aid Franchise - hopefully someone will pick up the franchise soon though!
Thank you to all who have followed my journey - Now its time for me to adventure into something new!
But for now, from me... its goodbye! x

Hi everyone ๐ค
This is one of those posts thatโs really hard to writeโฆ
As my contract with Mini First Aid has now come to an end, Iโve made the decision not to renew and will be stepping away from the franchise on 18th April 2026.
This business has been such a huge part of my life. From nervous first classes to confidently teaching hundreds of families, schools and workplacesโ every single person Iโve met has played a part in that journey, and I will always be grateful.
But sometimesโฆ life pulls you in a different direction.
For us, that direction is adventure.
Weโve always been into exploring, travel and adventure- even more so with our daughter!
So now, weโve made the decision as a family to completely change our lifestyle. Weโll be selling our home and building a completely new one โ an overlander expedition truck โ and creating a lifestyle that allows us to spend more time together, learn through experience, and explore the world as a family.
It feels bigโฆ a little scaryโฆ but completely right for us.
If youโd like to follow along with our journey, you can find us on all platforms (Iโll pop the links in the comments)
From now, I wonโt be taking any new bookings. I do have one final qualification course to deliver, along with completing a few final bits.
For any future bookings, please contact head office at [email protected].
This will be my final post on this page ๐ฉท
Thank you for supporting me, my family, and this business. It has meant more than I can put into words.

Today we delivered our final NHS-funded Baby & Child First Aid session as part of our 12-month contract.
What a year it has been.
Over the past 12 months weโve had the privilege of teaching so many incredible parents, grandparents and carers across our community. Watching people leave feeling more confident, more prepared and less anxious about emergencies is exactly why these sessions matter so much.
Weโll be going through all the data over the next few weeks, but one thing is already clear โ the number of families who have taken the time to learn life-saving skills is something to be really proud of.
Thank you to every single person who came along, asked questions, shared stories and trusted us to guide you through such important skills.
Helping families feel more confident around their little ones will always be something close to my heart. ๐

Today Iโm teaching first aid. A lovely chapter that will soon be coming to a close. Only a couple more sessions left if you want to make use of the free nhs sessions.

After a lot of thought, Iโm sharing some news today that may be a bit of a shockโฆ
But after a lot of thought and consideration, Mini First Aid Shropshire is now officially up for sale.
(All enquiries should be directed to head office who will send more details on - or DM me and I can send you in the right direction for more information)
Running this business has been an incredible experience. Over the past 4 and a bit years I have supported so many families, schools and workplaces and worked alongside amazing community partners. I have had the privilege of teaching thousands of people vital life-saving skills!
Iโm incredibly proud of everything I have built here in Shropshire.
But now, as our family moves into a new chapter, it feels like the right time for me to step back and for someone new to take the reins and continue growing this brilliant business locally.
All confirmed bookings will continue to go ahead as planned, including our last few NHS combined class bookings. (We still have spaces tomorrow in Ellesmere for the AM and PM sessions - book here: https://bookwhen.com/mfashropshirecombined)
You may also notice that there are currently no new class dates available to book. This is simply while we move through this period. We will go through all enquiries that have come in the next week.
Mini First Aid Shropshire has strong foundations, fantastic community relationships and huge potential for the right person who is passionate about helping families and communities learn first aid.
If you, or someone you know, might be interested in this opportunity, please feel free to send me a message for more details.
Thank you to everyone who has supported Mini First Aid Shropshire over the years โ it has truly meant the world. ๐

โI was initially quite nervous about attendingโฆโ
And this right here is why I do what I do.
First aid can feel overwhelming.
Walking into a room of strangers can feel overwhelming.
Bringing your baby along? Even more so.
But my classes are not about pressure.
Theyโre about reassurance.
Theyโre about confidence.
Theyโre about knowing that if the worst happened โ you wouldnโt freeze.
I will always:
โ๏ธ Make you feel welcome
โ๏ธ Answer every question
โ๏ธ Give you space to practise (without pressure)
โ๏ธ Stay behind to chat
โ๏ธ Remind you that babies are ALWAYS welcome
Because learning first aid shouldnโt feel intimidating โ it should feel empowering.
To the lovely parent who wrote this review โ thank you.
It means more than you know ๐ค
