FREE first aid courses are being offered to community groups in Wiltshire.

Funding is available for groups that fall into the Red Cross strategy, including those in areas of deprivation and homelessness, carers groups, and groups who may have volunteers working with vulnerable people.

The Red Cross is able to offer a two-hour first aid course that teaches people the first thing to do in an emergency.

Each course is tailored to the needs of the group and focuses on the areas of first aid specific to their need and lifestyle.

For more information, contact Joanne Riches on 01793 859933, 07921 06723 or JRiches@redcross.org.uk.
