The St John Adur Valley Network was delighted to be invited by the North Lancing Community Association to share a presentation about the important work of St John Ambulance in the local community. At the gathering, members of the Network introduced the history and mission of St John Ambulance, highlighting its commitment to providing first aid training, supporting public events, and promoting health and safety for all.
A key feature of the event was a practical demonstration of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and the correct use of a defibrillator. The friendly and knowledgeable team guided attendees through each step, explaining the vital role these techniques play in saving lives during a cardiac emergency. Participants were encouraged to ask questions and even try their hand at using the training equipment, ensuring everyone could gain hands-on experience and build confidence.
Throughout the session, the presenters emphasised the importance of community involvement in first aid. They shared inspiring stories of volunteers whose quick actions had made a real difference, and provided advice on how anyone can access St John Ambulance training and resources. The atmosphere was warm and supportive, fostering a sense of unity and empowerment among all who attended.
The event was warmly received by the North Lancing Community Association, and many attendees expressed appreciation for the practical knowledge gained. The St John Adur Valley Network looks forward to further opportunities to support and engage with local residents, helping to make the community safer and more resilient.
