First Aid Training

It is very important that you have members of your church who are First Aid aware.

British Red Cross provide certified First Aid training courses for the general public. They include lots of practical excercises to give you confidence in dealing with a real life emergency. The courses are easy to follow and are led by experienced trainers.

If you have a group of 10-15 people who would like First Aid training, you can arrange for a Red Cross First Aid trainer to come and deliver the training at a suitable venue provided by you. Alternatively, if you have less than 10 people, you can book a place on a course at a local Red Cross training venue.

Visit the Red Cross website or telephone 0844 412 2808 for further details about the courses on offer and information on how to book. All courses are designed to build skills and confidence and include a range of hands-on activities to help you learn how to put your skills into practice.

If you don't have a group of 10-15 people but would prefer to hold a course at your own venue, why not contact other nearby parishes and invite them to join your course.
