Meet Our Founder – Kate Ball

Mini First Aid was founded in January 2014 by mum of six, Kate Ball, with a mission to deliver high-quality baby and child first aid classes to parents and carers. Since then, the business has grown rapidly and now trains over 2,000 people every week across the UK in basic and life-saving first aid. 

Our multi award-winning classes are designed to be relaxed, accessible, and confidence-boosting - giving you the knowledge and skills to act in a medical emergency. We offer sessions for the whole family, including parents, grandparents, carers, and even children as young as three.

In 2021, Kate and her husband Matt appeared on Dragons’ Den and secured investment from Sara Davies MBE. Since then, Mini First Aid has continued to expand, including the development of our own range of brilliant first aid products, now stocked in major retailers.

Being endorsed by Buy Women Built recognises the journey of building a purpose-led, female-founded UK brand from the ground up.

Why Supporting Women-Built Brands Matters

Despite growing numbers of female entrepreneurs, women-led businesses still receive significantly less funding than male-led businesses.

Choosing women-built brands helps:

• Close the gender funding gap

• Strengthen the UK economy

• Encourage diversity in leadership

• Inspire the next generation of female founders

Every purchase makes a difference.
