LIFE-saving tips which could help people and their canine companions will be on offer at special sessions held in Rugby this weekend.
Free CPR information and awareness sessions will take place in Houlton with local charity the OurJay Foundation, which raises awareness and funds for accessible defibrillators and provides training on how to use them.
Attendees will have the chance to learn life-saving skills and techniques with qualified professionals.
Doggy First Aid sessions will also be on offer from Rugby Guide Dogs, aiming to teach essential dog first aid tips and support to dog owners.
Naomi Rees Issitt, who set up the OurJay Foundation after her son Jamie Rees died at the age of 18 following a cardiac arrest, said: “Anyone can use a defibrillator and all of us at OurJay hope we can support by answering any questions you may have at this event.”
The sessions have been organised by Urban&Civic, the master developer of the growing Houlton neighbourhood.
Community Development Lead Elly Hemus said: “We’re looking forward to a fun-packed day where people can pick up some vital knowledge and help support some brilliant local causes.”
The free sessions will be held at Houlton School from 10am on Saturday May 30. Dogs are not permitted.
