We recently hosted our first free Emergency First Aid Training session at the Local Solutions Community Hub in Kirkby – giving local residents the chance to gain vital, potentially lifesaving skills.
Led by qualified trainers, the session covered essential topics such as CPR, using a defibrillator, and how to treat common injuries. Participants left equipped with practical knowledge and new confidence in their ability to respond in emergency situations – whether at home, at work, or out in the community.
The feedback was overwhelmingly positive, with many attendees saying they felt far more prepared to act if needed.
This is the first in a series of free community training sessions planned as part of our wider work to empower local people and build stronger, more connected neighbourhoods. More sessions are scheduled for June – keep an eye out for details.
