Ten volunteers from The Monday Club have learned vital life-saving skills in a hands-on first-aid course.
A team from St John Ambulance delivered the course to the volunteers at Abbots Langley Community Centre on April 13.
Those who took part had the chance to practice CPR, learn how to use a defibrillator and correctly apply a bandage to a wound.
The training was described as “empowering”, giving volunteers the confidence to respond calmly in real-life emergencies.
A spokesperson for The Monday Club said: “The St John Ambulance team were absolutely outstanding. They were professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly supportive throughout.
“They created a relaxed and encouraging environment that made it easy for our volunteers to get involved and build confidence.
“Their passion for what they do really shone through, and they went above and beyond to make the session both enjoyable and impactful.”
The social club is aimed at adults with learning difficulties. It was first formed in 1988 by a group of parents who wanted to enhance their children’s way of life and encourage them to become more involved in the community.
Members now meet on Monday nights and enjoy a range of activities including bingo, crafts and trips to go bowling.
