📣 Your Communication Toolkit - 04 December 🗣️

How many times have you walked away from a conversation feeling frustrated because you didn’t get the outcome you wanted?

Is there friction in your workplace or home life and you wish you knew how to interact more effectively with someone?

When was the last you had a ‘proper’ conversation with a family member, friend or colleague that wasn’t surface level chit-chat?

Join us on our upcoming toolkit and we’ll chat about all of the above and so much more!

This week, we hosted an awesome group of men from across the blue light & armed forces communities on our residential wellbeing retreat.

We couldn’t do canoeing due to the wind, but we still had loads of fun, including:

🌳 a forest walk
🪵 whittling
🔥 fire starting
🪓 axe throwing
🧘🏽 yoga
💚 wellbeing chats
🧆 superb food
😄 laughter, and even more laughter!

So grateful to Blue Light Card Foundation for partnering with us for our our nature-based wellbeing programme, which forms part of their wider portfolio to support these wonderful communities 💙

We’ve been busy in the training room delivering our accredited Level 2 First Aid for Mental Health & Level 3 Safeguarding courses.

Over the 2 courses we covered loads of topics including:

🔹 how to spot the signs & symptoms of a range of mental health conditions

🔹 starting a potentially difficult conversation

🔹 when and where to signpost for professional help

🔸 identifying signs of abuse & neglect

🔸 what determines someone being ‘at risk’

🔸 understanding how & where to report any concerns

This content can be very challenging, and we must open up conversations around these important topics.

So grateful to Gwent Regional Partnership for the funding to our so we could deliver these courses for our Armed Forces community 🙏🏼💙

Blue Light Card Foundation

09/09/2026

It's 999 Day. And this one's for you.

You show up for everyone else. The Blue Light Card Foundation exists to make sure someone shows up for you.

Through a portfolio of nature-based programmes across the UK, the Foundation gives NHS staff, emergency responders and veterans access to something a bit different: woodland activity, outdoor retreats, therapeutic horticulture, surf therapy, and sport-based initiatives. All designed to create space for recovery, connection and breathing out, away from the operational environment.

These aren't tick-box sessions. They're structured, evidence-informed programmes delivered by specialist organisations, built around what actually helps.

This 999 Day, find out what's available for you and your colleagues.
