It takes a rare kind of courage to call this your job. 🚒

A huge thank you to Mellissa Houlding for making the trip to UKRO in Cardiff, and to Richie Matthews for the invitation.

In Mellissa's words, it is indeed "A great reminder of the incredible skill, dedication, and bravery shown by firefighters every day."

We were glad to support in our small way.

Thank you to the team at Medisave UK Ltd for helping bring these vests to life. We really appreciate your support.

We spend our days thinking about cardiac arrest and sudden death.

So when we heard about children living with congenital heart conditions and their parents who care for them around the clock, without a break, often without any support at all, it landed differently.

Lagan's Foundation, founded by Carren Bell, gives those families a few hours back. To rest. To breathe. They're the only organisation in the UK offering this to children under five. And right now, there's a waiting list.

We admire what Carren and her team have built enormously, and we can't wait to support it in whatever small way we can. As part of the Safe Life UK & Ireland group, we've committed to raising £10,000 through defibrillator sales in 2026.

Some partnerships simply make sense.

Naomi built a foundation that has installed over 500 defibrillators across the country and campaigned tirelessly for every police vehicle in the UK to carry one, a campaign that has already saved 25 lives.

Jamie's Law has one clear ask: every police vehicle in the UK should carry a defibrillator. Police are often the first to arrive at an emergency. If they're already on scene and equipped, those critical minutes don't have to be lost to sourcing a defibrillator from a station or a public cabinet. Every minute without defibrillation reduces survival chances by 10%, and right now those minutes are being lost to delays that could be avoided.

The case isn't theoretical. It's already working.

Jamie's story also carries a practical reminder: a public access defibrillator locked behind a gate is not a public access defibrillator. If your building, school, or workplace has one, please make sure it can be accessed by anyone who needs it, at any hour.

This campaign is already saving lives; it deserves to go further.

He's not looking at the AED.

Sitting there on a quiet April morning, phone in hand. The AED cabinet is right there, a few feet away, mounted on the wall in front of him, and he hasn't glanced at it once.

Neither has anyone else today. Or yesterday.

That's not a criticism. It's just how it goes. AEDs become part of the furniture. They go up on the wall, someone sends a confirmation email, and then life moves on. The meetings, the deadlines, the inbox that never empties. The cabinet stays where it is. The cabinet stays where it is.

Weeks pass. Then months.

Nobody checks the pads. Nobody looks at the battery. And the device that's supposed to save a life sits there, quietly, waiting to be asked.

Until the moment someone needs it to be.

If you're the defib guardian for your site, this is your reminder. 30 seconds. Today:
✓ Pads in date?
✓ Battery live?
✓ Ready indicator green?

Check it today. Not when you get round to it. Today.

We've got everything you need to keep it that way. Link: https://www.defibstore.co.uk/
