Hamphire Young First Aiders

Eleven youngsters from Southampton are amongst the first in the country to take part in a new first aid course with St John Ambulance.

Young first aider is aimed at seven to 16-year-olds to learn first aid in schools and youth clubs.

Lorrin Evans, Schools Liaison Officer for St John Ambulance Hampshire, said: ‘First aid saves lives and, like adults, young people can and should learn these skills.

‘The Young first aider package contains everything you need to start training young people including film clips, lesson plans, worksheets and certificates for all who take part.’

The group learned all aspects of first aid from bandaging skills right through to emergencies.

Lorrin added: ‘Young first aider is flexible – suitable for all abilities and timescales - and makes learning fist aid fun.’
