It was great to be at the launch and Official Opening of Staffordshire Ladsandads First Aid Group's new First Aid post which was kindly supported and donated by Reliance Medical Ltd.
The First Aid Group was originally formed in 2009 by Roland Hulse and had its official opening at Birchenwood Playing Fields, Mount Road, Kidsgrove in 2012. Since then they have trained ten volunteers to a high Trauma standard to ensure crowd and participant safety at various events including their very own Youth Football Leagues and were, along with Staffordshire Ladsandads, awarded the Queens Award for Voluntary Services for which they proudly display the Royal Crest on their logo.
Ladsanddads was originally set up in 1967, and is now chaired by Clive Dean. They run fantastic football leagues tailored for everyone - and despite the name they now have mixed and girls' teams too!
Ladsanddads are currently taking on recruits as trainee First Aid Officers who with their in- house training programme can achieve the required standard. They pay for all their training, high visibility uniforms; Trauma Kits, AED's and two way radios for quick response should an urgent situation arise.
Anyone interested in joining or booking the Team please get in touch with me and I will put you in touch with their Group Manager
