Hart First Response: Local first aid and ambulance services

Hart First Response

Registered Charity 1092333

Volunteer Recruitment
We are keen to recruit new volunteer first aiders. We have opportunities for anyone holding a current First Aid at Work certificate to get involved, and places for those interested in training-up. You'll meet people, learn new skills and have an interesting time (see photos)!

If you live in the North Hampshire area, and would like to know more about becoming a volunteer contact me by email: Hester or phone 01252-629132 / 07941-980914.

Volunteers need to attend at least half the Tuesday evening training sessions to maintain and develop their skills and are expected when available to cover events of their choice at weekends.

Without first aid cover our local fetes, bonfires, triathlons and other sporting events would be unable to run, so do something worthwhile by using your skills to give a little back to the community.
