Some parts of the body we bandaged up
1st November 2025
We had a guest speaker in to talk about first aid. This was our first out of three sessions of doing first aid. Our young people learned the basis of how to put on bandages, how to identify a strain from a sprain and how to differentiate between different types of wounds and how to dress them. Everyone learned a lot from our practical first aid training.

The group decided to do something different today, so we did some baking. We made lovely mugcakes. It proved to be great fun and our young people really enjoyed making them.
