Steroplast’s Key Dates for 2026

A message from Janice McMahon | Head of Market Development at Steroplast

As we move into another busy year, I wanted to take a moment to reflect on some of the things that really stood out for me in 2025, and to share where I’ll be spending time throughout 2026. The last year has been a reminder of why the work we do matters, especially when it comes to supporting people on the ground and seeing trauma products used where they can genuinely help.

Below is a mix of personal highlights, events I’ve been proud to be involved with, and dates for the year ahead where you’ll be able to catch up with me and the Steroplast team. Whether we’ve already met or are yet to cross paths, I hope this gives you a good sense of what’s coming up and creates an opportunity to connect along the way.

Highlights of 2025

Lancashire Resilience Forum

Supporting the Lancashire Resilience Forum with the rollout of over 300 PAcT Kits and Grab Bags across Lancashire made me very proud. I am very passionate about PAcT Kits and Trauma Products, and hearing stories of others that have been used across the country with positive outcomes is what motivates me.

 

Peace Bears Picnic

Helping organise the Peace Bears Picnic, which brought together around 100 Peace Bears on 24th July 2025, was definitely one of my personal highlights of last year and will stay with me for a long time. The day was to celebrate Martyn’s Law receiving Royal Assent on 3rd April 2025 and to say thank you to Figen Murray and her team for the amazing hard work they have done in getting Martyn’s Law over the line. To celebrate this on International Security Officers Day was very poignant, and it brought many Peace Bears and their Guardians together for a very heartwarming, uplifting, emotional event.

NWCTP

Proud to support North West Counter Terror Policing at many ACT events across North West and will continue to do so throughout 2026.
