INFRATEC Community First Aid
Free Community First Aid & CPR Awareness Sessions Across Middlesbrough, Teesside & the North East
Helping local communities gain the confidence to save lives
Everyone Should Know What to Do in an Emergency
Every year, lives are saved because an ordinary member of the public knew what to do before the ambulance arrived. At INFRATEC Training, we believe these lifesaving skills shouldn't be limited to workplaces - they should be available to everyone.
That's why we've launched INFRATEC Community First Aid.
Our programmer provides free first aid awareness sessions for community groups across Middlesbrough, Stockton-on-Tees, Redcar, Hartlepool, Darlington, Teesside and the wider North East.
Whether you're a running club, football team, charity, volunteer group or community organisation, we'd love to hear from you.
