The British Red Cross educates people in life-saving skills, enabling them to respond to emergencies in their communities.
Locally, we can organise first aid training for community groups which is tailored to abilities and to meet the needs of the candidates. The training can be delivered at your own venue or a Red Cross Branch. To find out how we can arrange first aid training to suit the needs of your group, contact 01452 726661 or WAGPT@redcross.org.uk
