In collaboration with St John Ambulance Cymru, Rhossili Community Council is pleased to launch the 1st of four 2-hour First Aid Awareness sessions. These have been arranged as part of our Community Wellbeing initiative after the positive response we had to the survey last December about holding the sessions. We’ve now had the go-ahead from St John Ambulance Cymru to start with the introductory First Aid Awareness session at 10am on Wednesday morning, March 18th at Rhossili Village Hall.
Tea & coffee will be provided from 9.45am and all sessions are free, but we would welcome donations on the day to St John Ambulance Cymru.
Spaces are limited to 20.
