Barmouth Town Council is offering a free first aid course designed to equip residents with essential life-saving skills. Scheduled for Saturday, February 28, 2024, the course will take place at the Dragon Theatre from 10:00 to approximately 15:00. This initiative targets all residents of Barmouth, specifically those in the LL42 area, providing an invaluable opportunity for community members to gain important knowledge.
Participants will learn key techniques, including CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) and AED (automated external defibrillator) training. The course will also cover how to recognize signs of medical distress and provide hands-on practical sessions. A qualified trainer will lead the program, ensuring that attendees leave with the confidence to act decisively in emergencies.
While this course is offered free of charge to residents, it is intended as an introductory experience rather than a substitute for certified first aid training required by businesses or charities. The council aims to foster a community equipped to respond to medical emergencies effectively.
Spaces for the course are limited, making early registration essential. Interested individuals can secure their spot by visiting Barmouth Town Council’s official Facebook page, where further details are available. This initiative reflects the council’s commitment to enhancing community safety and preparedness, empowering individuals with the skills needed to potentially save lives.
