'First Aid for Young people' training opportunity

Earlier this year we posted a fun way to learn first aid. Since then the PDDCS have been given funding towards the amazing opportunity to offer a free First Aid for Young People to our members. St John Ambulance will be providing the training, a 6 hour course, on Thursday 28th March.

"As well as providing the ability to be the difference between life and death, first aid training at a young age helps to build confidence andself esteem as well as teamwork and communication skills."

If you are a PDDCS member and wish to know more about this training or book a place please contact tquail@jackhunt.net

Spaces are limited
