The Lambourn Junction Community Interest Company is inviting residents from across the Lambourn Valley to take part in a free Defibrillator Training Session as part of its commitment to making the Valley an even safer place to live.
The practical session will teach participants how to recognise a cardiac arrest, perform CPR and confidently use a public access defibrillator. With more lifesaving equipment now available throughout the Lambourn Valley, having more people trained could make all the difference while waiting for the emergency services to arrive.
20th August – 6pm at the Walwyn Hall, Baydon Road
The training is free to attend, but places are limited, so early booking is recommended. Together, we can build a more confident, prepared and resilient Lambourn Valley community.
