Did you know Cardiff's Somaliland community has existed for more than 150 years? We've been working with community leaders to help more people join our community of lifesavers, by providing public demonstrations and translating our first aid resources. Da iawn pawb!

A huge thanks to all the #PoblStJohnPeople who were at the @principalitysta on Saturday providing first aid cover for those in the crowd. On this occasion rather than the usual mauls & rucks they were watching monster trucks! We hope everyone enjoyed @MonsterJam 2026! Diolch!

After running the 10K🏃🏾‍♂️‍➡️, followed by the family run last Sunday, I will be taking on another challenge this coming Saturday 23 May 2026 as part of the @spectaclemakers Master's Zip Wire Challenge in aid of the Spectacle Makers' Charity.

The Master Spectacle Maker will be attempting an unconventional flight, via one of Europe's fastest zipwires, to raise money for the Spectacle Makers' Charity. Any money raised will help support the Charity in pursuing its goals, including supporting people with significant sight loss, providing a means to access educational and vocational training or to experience cultural, sporting and other leisure activities.

The trustees of the Spectacle Makers' Charity carry out essential work and ensure support for projects and charities that ensure no one is left behind or excluded due to a vision impairment. They can only do that with the generosity of donors. Please consider supporting the appeal, with the knowledge that donations will make a real difference to children, adults and elderly people with sight loss and other disabilities.

The Master will be ditching her gown and badge in favour of a safety harness to zipwire across the Penhyn Quarry in North Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿, and I am looking forward to joining and supporting her for what should be a fantastic and slightly terrifying experience.

Thanks to generous donations, the Past Master challenge raised over £8,000 to support the incredible work of the Charity. Hopefully this year's challenge can go even further.

Please do consider supporting the appeal. If you are a UK taxpayer, Gift Aid will increase the value of your donation by 25% at no additional cost to you.

Do you have a first aid kit in your vehicle?
It's not a legal requirement, but could help to save a life at the scene of a collision.

If you drive for work and do not have a first aid kit, why not ask your employer to provide one for your vehicle?

As Muslims around the world celebrate Eid al-Adha, many will also be reflecting on the deeper meaning behind one of the most important periods in the Islamic calendar.

Eid al-Adha, often known as the "Festival of Sacrifice", commemorates the story of Prophet Ibrahim (Abraham), who in Islamic tradition demonstrated complete faith, trust and obedience to God. Before the sacrifice could take place, God replaced his son with a ram, symbolising mercy, compassion and devotion.

The days leading up to Eid are also deeply significant. Many Muslims are currently undertaking the Haji pilgrimage in Saudi Arabia, one of the largest annual gatherings in the world and a spiritual journey that every Muslim hopes to complete at least once in their lifetime, if able.

One of the most important moments during Hajj is the Day of Arafah, when pilgrims gather on the Plain of Arafat near Mecca in prayer, reflection and repentance. It is considered one of the holiest days of the year for Muslims and represents humility, equality and spiritual renewal before God.

At a time when the world can often feel divided, Eid also serves as a reminder of our shared values across humanity: sacrifice, compassion, gratitude, service and caring for one another.

This Eid, many will also keep in their prayers all those facing hardship, conflict and suffering across the world, including families and communities affected by war and instability in Ukraine, Gaza, Lebanon, Sudan, the Congo and Iran. Regardless of faith or background, moments like Eid remind us of our shared humanity and the importance of peace, dignity and hope for all people.

Eid Mubarak to all those celebrating across Wales, the UK and around the world.
