Local residents are being urged to join an emergency volunteer scheme which could help save the life of a neighbour in a medical emergency.
St John Ambulance is inviting local people to come along to an information evening to find out more about becoming a Community First Responder (CFR).
The first information event will take place on the evening of 2 July at the London Ambulance Service (LAS) HQ, 220 Waterloo Road, SE1 8SD. Two other information evenings will be held on 17 July and 21 August at the London HQ of St John Ambulance - 63 York Street, W1H 1PS.
Anyone subsequently interested in volunteering as a CFR will be expected to undergo four, full day training sessions which will be held every Saturday from 31 August at Birchwood House, St Margaret’s Hospital, The Plain, Epping, Essex.
