A PARENTING charity is holding courses in baby first aid in Malvern next weekend

The courses are a collaboration between NCT, the UK’s largest parents’ charity, and the British Red Cross.

Parents will be able to learn first aid skills which could make all the difference in an emergency, plus the confidence to put them into practice should they ever be needed.

Joe Mulligan of the British Red Cross said: “The British Red Cross is proud to have been chosen as the first aid training partner for NCT.

"NCT and the Red Cross recognise first aid is a must for every parent. This fantastic partnership will make first aid more accessible to parents and will increase their confidence to respond in an emergency as well as equip them with the skills that could one day save their child's life.''

The courses are at the Madresfield Early Years Centre on Saturday, July 21, at 10am and 1.30pm.
