Free life-saving sessions to be held at Dudley libraries
St John Ambulance volunteers will teach CPR and defibrillator skills at eight libraries
People across Dudley borough will have the chance to learn simple life-saving skills at free drop-in sessions at local libraries.
The sessions will take place at Dudley, Gornal, Brierley Hill, Netherton, Stourbridge, Lye, Cradley and Halesowen libraries on Saturday, September 26, from 10am to 2pm.
Local St John Ambulance volunteers will demonstrate hands-only CPR and how to use a public access defibrillator.
The sessions are part of the annual Save a Life September campaign and are suitable for adults and children.
The aim is to increase people's confidence in knowing what to do in an emergency.
Stephanie Rhoden, GLL Partnership Manager for Dudley Libraries, said: "Learning simple skills like these can literally be the difference between life and death and we’re very grateful to the volunteers who are coming along to teach adults and children what to do in those critical moments."
She added: "Feel free to pop in at any time between 10am and 2pm. One day you might be very glad you did."
