Testimonials

Hear directly from those we’ve helped, read our clients’ stories below.

Thank you to you both for organising & delivering; Ellis has put [it] into practice & saved a life. He delivered life-
saving CPR to an elderly man who fell on a bus.
He would not have been able to do this so confidently & successfully if it wasn’t for your first aid course.
So, thank you very much, an invaluable training.

Pippa, Ellis' mum

Just wanted to say a massive thanks to you for the first aid course on Friday. Ben was absolutely brilliant with the boys & they all had a great time.
It was so beneficial, I would really recommend it to others.
