You might be suprised to hear...
Every year, more than 400,000 people learn how to save a life through our training programmes, including hundreds of thousands of young people.
They were set up before the NHS and have saved lives and delivered first aid for over 140 years. They are a constantly evolving team of over 1,500 employees and 18,000 volunteers. Their volunteers work at the heart of communities to keep people safe and deliver first aid in the moments that matter, whether it’s giving life-saving CPR or tying a sling for a sprained wrist.
The charity have youth programmes operating across England, enabling young people to learn first aid, build their confidence, and gain important life skills. For Badgers (ages 7-10) it's all about fun, adventure, and learning first aid. As a Cadet (ages 10-17) you'll get to meet new people, learn new skills, and build your confidence.
They can equip you with mental health first aid skills as well as physical!
