Emergency First Aid training with Rea Valley First Responders - on 14 and 21 March 2020
2nd March 2020

Emergency First Aid training with Rea Valley First Responders - British Heart Foundation Certification.  Pontesbury and Cruckton

 “Emergency simple CPR Resuscitation skill is needed if someone collapses not breathing. Add to this an easy to use community Defibrillator will give by far the best chance of recovery during the critical short time after the collapse.”

Rea Valley First Responders volunteers will be holding two free Emergency first aid training sessions in March to coincide with two new defibrillators arriving in the village.  In addition to the defibrillator on the outside wall of the public toilets in the centre of Pontesbury we will be having one on the outside of the new community building The Pavilion,  and one at Cruckton Village Hall.

The training session will include basic first aid techniques including using a defibrillator.

To book onto either session please contact the Parish Clerk.  (clerk@pontesburypc.org.uk)

 

Saturday 14 March   times: 9am to 1pm Pontesbury Public Hall

Saturday 21 March   times: 9am – 1pm Cruckton Village Hall

The defibrillators are being donated by the Rae Valley First Responders.  Pontesbury Parish Council is fitting them and providing the box for the one at The Pavilion.  Cllr Duncan Fletcher and Cllr C Sandells have very kindly donated money for the defibrillator box in Cruckton.

Although the training is free, donations are always welcomed towards the important work done by the Rae Valley First Responders who work tirelessly supporting local people in their hour of need.
