Our Story
At the Empower Foundation, we believe that everyone deserves the knowledge and skills to save a life, regardless of their circumstances.
Our mission is to provide Basic Life Support (BLS) First Aid and Mental Health training to individuals who are homeless, at risk of homelessness, or rough sleepers.
By advancing health through the prevention of sickness, disease, and human suffering, we aim to promote both physical and mental well-being among the most vulnerable in our society.
Our Mission
-
Life-Saving Skills: We offer comprehensive BLS First Aid training to equip individuals with the ability to perform lifesaving actions during medical emergencies. By empowering those in need, including the young, elderly, ill, and disabled, we strive to create a safer and more prepared community.
-
Mental Health Training: Our mental health training programs focus on promoting moral welfare and mental well-being. We aim to uplift and improve the mental health of those less fortunate, providing them with the support and skills needed to cope with life’s challenges.
Why We Started
The Empower Foundation was born out of a belief that even saving one life is a cause worth fighting for. We are committed to passing on this passion and making a tangible difference in the lives of those who need it most.
Our Programs
We offer free first aid and mental health training courses to individuals at risk of or experiencing homelessness. These courses are designed to be accessible and practical, ensuring that participants leave with the confidence and knowledge to act in emergency situations.
What Makes Us Unique
Unlike other organisations, the Empower Foundation provides these critical training courses entirely free of charge. We are the only charity in our area offering this unique combination of BLS First Aid and Mental Health training to vulnerable populations without cost.
Measuring Our Impact
Our success is measured by the number of courses we run and the individuals we train. Each person who completes our training represents a potential life saved and a step towards a healthier, more resilient community.
Our Vision
We envision a future where the Empower Foundation is the leading charity in the UK providing free first aid and mental health first aid to rough sleepers and those at risk of homelessness. Starting locally, we aim to expand our reach across the UK, making life-saving knowledge accessible to all.
Get Involved
Your support is crucial to our mission. We welcome donations of old and expired first aid kits for training purposes, as well as financial contributions. Together, we can empower the most vulnerable members of our society with the skills to save lives and improve mental health.
