Life - Saving Skills for Grassroots and Support Teams

In community outreach, health initiatives, social support, or voluntary services, emergencies can happen without warning. Training your team in basic first aid and cardiac care builds resilience and safety into every level of your service—benefiting staff, service users and the wider public.

Basic First Aid Training for Community Volunteers

Build practical skills and support well - being

Our one - day Basic First Aid course teaches essential skills to help someone who becomes ill or injured. Ideal for volunteers, youth leaders, support staff or part - time workers, the training is delivered on site and tailored to your setting. Participants learn to manage bleeding, burns, fainting, medical shock and more, all while waiting for emergency services. It's a practical, accessible course that strengthens community care and preparedness.

CFR Training for Quick Response to Cardiac Emergencies

Nationally recognised, half - day training

Cardiac First Response (CFR) training prepares staff and volunteers to recognise and respond to cardiac arrest. The course includes CPR and defibrillator use, and follows Pre - Hospital Emergency Care Council (PHECC) standards. Ideal for voluntary organisations, clubs, and community initiatives, CFR training can be delivered to small or large groups at your premises with minimal disruption.

Equip Staff and Volunteers With Life - Saving Knowledge

In many community organisations, volunteers are the first point of contact in an emergency. CFR and basic first aid training help reduce panic, improve outcomes, and build confidence across your team. Whether you're running a day centre, outreach programme or community event, trained staff can make a critical difference when every second counts.

Flexible Training for Non - Profits and Local Groups

We understand that voluntary organisations often run on limited budgets and irregular schedules. That's why we deliver practical training on your terms—at your location and tailored to your availability. From neighbourhood projects to national charities, our instructors ensure your people receive relevant, certified training that supports your work in the community.
