About us
Our Mission
"To empower and protect communities through practical, accessible and affordable training, in order to place First Aiders for both physical and mental health in every workplace"
If you cut your finger at work or whilst out and about, or slip and hit your head in a shopping centre, chances are that you'll be greeted by a first aider who will assess the situation and administer the appropriate care and/or get help. However, when the issue concerns mental health rather than physical health, people ore often left not knowing what to do or who to turn to, sometimes leading to serious or even fatal consequences.
Mental health issues are from uncommon; at least one in four of us will suffer from a mental health issue at some stage, and yet two thirds of us either have no one we can speak to, or don't know who to speak to if we need help.
Whilst it's a legal requirement to have a provision for physical first aid in your workplace, it isn't for mental health. Yet...
Surely that is just as important as your physical health? We certainly think so!
Spartan Associates are firm believers in the importance of good mental health, not only in the workplace, but for everyone, no matter who they are.
We are #strongertogether and together we can #makeadifference
Experience you can trust
With over 30 years of first-hand experience across front-line Emergency Services, the UK Armed Forces, Crisis Childcare, Charity, Hospitality and Retail – and that’s just our Founder – we bring real-world knowledge into everything we do. Backed by a UK-wide network of expert trainers, our team knows how to connect, engage and deliver at the right level for every client.
We recognise that no two people learn the same way. That’s why our training is flexible, tailored, and proven across a wide range of delivery methods. From your very first enquiry through to the successful completion of your course (and beyond), you’ll be fully supported every step of the way.
All our trainers are:
- Enhanced DBS checked
- Professionally qualified and current in their fields
- Committed to continuous professional development
When you work with us, you can be confident you’re in safe, capable hands.
Flexibility with Trainers who Care
We believe training should adapt to your needs - not the other way around. That’s why we don’t just deliver a course and walk away; we will support you - if you need us - post delivery.
We partner with you every step of the journey, helping to strengthen prevention strategies, improve quality of life, and build lasting resilience for you and your team.
We know that finding the time for training can be a challenge. That’s why we offer complete flexibility in how we deliver. Sessions can be broken down and spread across days or weeks, or arranged in the evenings and at weekends — whatever makes it easier for you to take part and get the most out of it.
No matter your goals or your schedule, we’ll work with you to make training accessible, practical and effective.
Get in touch today and discover just how flexible we can be.
Why choose us?
At Spartan Associates, we believe that essential training shouldn’t come with an inflated price tag. That’s why we offer high-quality, accredited courses - often at half the cost of larger providers - without compromising on content or delivery; we ensure we follow the regulations and legislation when some don't. Our training is led by experienced professionals with real-world frontline backgrounds and 'lived experience' in what they're doing, ensuring practical, engaging sessions that truly prepare people to act with confidence. We’re proud to offer a more personal, flexible approach, tailoring our courses to suit the needs of each client, whether that’s a huge bluechip corporation, a small local business, a school, or community group.
Unlike many big organisations, we focus on building long-term relationships and giving back, such as our recent installation of a 24/7 public access defibrillator at the Old Grey Mare public house in Clifton Green, York.
With Spartan Associates, you get affordable, expert-led training that makes a genuine difference.
