During the Easter Half Term on April 10th, Broadstairs and St Peters Town Council held an under 18s First Aid Workshop to promote a Safe Spring, this was presented by the British Red Cross.
Babs Dixon who was hosting the event used her knowledge to teach the youth basic first aid without a first aid kit, this made it more doable in real-life scenario. Some of the skills they learned and demonstrated was putting someone in a recovery position, how to use household objects to cover bleeding wounds, what to do to treat burns till an ambulance can reach the injured and how to approach a situation without putting themselves in danger.
We had 11 attendees ages from 10-17 and each youth left with an participation certificate.
Our next Under 18s First Aid Workshop will take place August 7th from 2pm-3pm.
