Stafforce Training, a provider of vocational training solutions, has demonstrated its commitment to community welfare by providing essential First Aid training to volunteers working in charity shops in support of North Lincolnshire Women’s Aid.
The training initiative was offered completely free of charge and equipped 12 volunteers with crucial life-saving skills, enhancing their capacity to respond effectively to emergencies.
Stafforce Training recognised the critical need for comprehensive First Aid knowledge among volunteers, especially when dealing with the general public in their retail outlets. As part of giving back to the communities they operate in, they offered North Lincolnshire Women’s Aid training free of charge.
“Ensuring the safety and well-being of volunteers and customers is paramount, especially in retail environments like North Lincolnshire Women’s Aid shops,” said Rose Heritage, Business Manager at Stafforce Training. “By offering our expertise in First Aid training, we aim to empower volunteers with the necessary skills to respond effectively to emergencies and provide immediate assistance when needed.”
The First Aid training, conducted by certified instructors from Stafforce Training, covered essential topics such as CPR, wound management, and emergency response procedures. The tailored program emphasised practical scenarios and hands-on training to ensure volunteers gained confidence and competence in their ability to handle various emergencies.
“We are immensely grateful to Stafforce Training for their generous contribution towards enhancing our volunteers’ capabilities,” expressed Denise Farman, CEO at North Lincolnshire Women’s Aid. “The First Aid training not only equips our volunteers with life-saving skills but also instils a sense of confidence and preparedness.”
The 12 volunteers who participated in the training program at North Lincolnshire Women’s Aid are now equipped to provide immediate assistance in emergency situations, helping to keep customers safe when shopping in stores.
