St John Ambulance has successfully trained nine new Community First Aiders at their Whitby Training Centre. This recent initiative is part of the North Yorkshire Coast & Moors Network's commitment to bolster community safety and engagement following their organisational restructure

Community First Aiders serve as the backbone of St John Ambulance's community engagement, providing essential first aid cover at local events, conducting public demonstrations, and participating in fundraising activities. The training equips volunteers with critical skills to respond to emergencies effectively, ensuring that help is always within reach during community gatherings.

Sam Austin, County Commissioner for St John, North Yorkshire & Teesside, expressed excitement about the new recruits, stating: "These Community First Aiders will play a vital role in our local events, offering peace of mind to our communities. Their presence ensures that we are prepared to respond to emergencies and promote first aid awareness."

St John Ambulance is now actively recruiting more volunteers in Whitby and Scarborough. If you are interested in making a difference and becoming a Community First Aider, you can find more information or apply at www.sja.org.uk or contact Richard Yeabsley directly at [email protected]
