Bank holiday first aid
Dedicated volunteers in Leicestershire
and Rutland treated over 100 patients
during a busy bank holiday weekend.
As well as offering 24-hour first aid cover at
three major events, volunteers were also on hand at
numerous smaller events across the county.

'Our volunteers provided a staggering 1139
