#InThisTogether – Stop the Bleed Campaign

#InThisTogether2025 is a bold new campaign that was launched across Nottinghamshire (and nationally) with one clear mission: to turn everyday residents into lifesavers.

This campaign is spearheaded by ATTFE College in partnership with Derbyshire’s CPTED-UK Ltd, CitizenAID and Nottinghamshire Freemasons. The initiative brings free, hands-on emergency training to communities across the county.

From stopping severe bleeding to responding in crisis situations, the campaign is equipping people of all ages with the confidence and skills to act when it matters most.

The campaign was officially launched on Thursday 25th September 2025 at the newly opened Cornerstone Theatre in Sutton-in-Ashfield, drawing a distinguished audience of over 200 attendees. The event was opened by Major General Tim Hodgetts CB, CBE, KHS, DL, Trustee and Co-Founder of CitizenAID, whose presence underscored the national importance of the initiative.

The initiative directly supports the UK’s 2025 National Security Strategy, which champions a “whole-of-society” approach to tackling both traditional terrorism and emerging hybrid threats. These threats increasingly blur the lines between military and civilian targets, demanding a united response. This new vision calls for breaking down the barriers between public services, the military, the private sector, and wider society — fostering collaboration at every level to ensure the nation is prepared, protected, and empowered.

As of 24th November 2025, we’ve successfully upskilled 1,522 individuals through CitizenAID’s Stop the Bleed training!

This vital training equips everyday people with life-saving skills — from applying pressure to a wound, to using a tourniquet — helping to build a safer, more prepared community.

There’s still plenty of opportunity to get involved, so join this phenomenal initiative and make a real difference in your community!
