The session, which was delivered by Hazel Thompson from the Rotherham St John Ambulance. covered essential lifesaving skills including DRABC (Danger, Response, Airway, Breathing and Circulation), CPR, the use of a defibrillator, the recovery position, choking treatment, bleeding control, and the treatment of burns and scalds.

Participants were encouraged to share their own experiences and build the confidence needed to respond in an emergency.

Hazel Thompson said: "The group was very enthusiastic and eager to learn. Everyone was keen to practise on the manikins and develop their skills in dealing with situations such as choking. The confidence gained from learning these simple techniques could help save a life."

Following the session, Hazel received a donation from Lindrick Players in support of the work of St John Ambulance.

Lindrick Players is a friendly amateur dramatic society that is well known for its annual pantomimes and comedy productions.
