🚨 ONLY A FEW SPACES LEFT! 🚨

Are you a registered adult carer with us? We still have a few limited places available for our upcoming Basic First Aid Training Session provided by the British Red Cross, and we would love for you to join us!

🗓️ When: Wednesday, 10th June

🕙 Time: 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM

📍 Where: St Maries Church, Lugsdale Road, Widnes

Why is Basic First Aid training so valuable for carers?
Caring for a family member comes with a lot of responsibility, and emergencies can happen when we least expect them. This relaxed, supportive session is tailored specifically for carers to help you:

💪 Boost Your Confidence: Learn practical skills that will help you feel more capable, calm, and in control if an accident or medical issue arises at home.

🩹 Master the Basics: Gain essential knowledge on how to handle everyday emergencies, from falls and cuts to burns or sudden illness.

🧠 Gain Peace of Mind: Knowing exactly what to do in a crisis takes away a huge amount of anxiety, giving you reassurance in your daily caring role.

Investing just two hours of your time can make a massive difference in how you handle the unexpected.
