Purpose of School First Aid Training
The purpose of the charity is to provide first aid courses to children offering many free after school clubs to schools, families at community centres playgroups or sure start centres and community groups that would benefit from first aid aid course to preserve life in their local communities.
We aim to supplement the emergency services with voluntary ambulance crews in the busy periods or emergency events.
We will provide commercial training services to businesses and to persons wanting to enhance their emergency aid career.
We will provide event ambulance services to commercial partners utilising volunteer and paid ambulance staff creating jobs in the communities we operate.
Benefits
Communities will benefit from the organisation enabling free first aid courses to children and families ensuring everyone has the best change in their hour of need to preserve life. We have developed free after school clubs which we will deliver free into schools as part of their current after school programme.
As part of our further education programmes the NHS will benefit from additional voluntary ambulance crews in the busy periods.
Like all charities we have been hit hard by Covid-19.
At this time we are currently diverting our volunteers to working with local charities and NHS services to provide additional support to our local community. We are currently looking for funding to help with this.
