St John Ambulance appeals for new adult volunteers in Wakefield and Pontefract
The St John Ambulance branch in Wakefield has launched its new community network and is appealing for new volunteers to step forward to learn life-saving first aid.
Specific opportunities exist as Community First Aiders, which includes enhancing your own skills, sharing your skills with others and raising awareness of St John in the local area.
A spokesperson said: "Whether you have never learnt any first aid before or have extensive skills you want to pass on to others, we want to hear from you.
"St John Ambulance volunteers are a familiar sight at sporting events, village fetes and across the community, at all times of year, indoors and outdoors.
"New adult volunteers receive training in first aid alongside peers and once this has been completed successfully, they will have a chance to be out on events delivering life-saving first aid to anyone who needs it.
"Adult volunteers meet weekly for training, network engagement and to learn more about the organisation and its mission across the world."
