Leaders at St John Ambulance are appealing for new volunteers to step forward and train as first aiders in South Cheshire.
No prior first aid or volunteering experience is required as full training will be given by existing volunteers and trainers at a regular weekly meeting.
Volunteers with no first aid experience can expect to reach a reasonable level of proficiency after six to nine months.
Volunteers will be given the chance to attend events in the local community and provide lifesaving first aid to members of the public.
Potential volunteers must be aged over 18 and will be required to pass an Enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service check.
Julian Williams, district manager at St John Ambulance, said: “We are looking for committed volunteers with a caring nature, keen to give some hours of their time to support the public by providing first aid at events.
“Please get in touch if you’d like to know more about the organisation and how you could get involved.”
Anyone interested in volunteering for the nation’s leading first aid charity should contact Jonathon Craig on 07970 803411.
