Today we celebrate World First Aid Day.

At the IFRC, we believe that First Aid should be learnt throughout life.

Everyone can save lives. ❤️

If you’ve been on one of our courses, you’ve probably heard about our beagles.
They’ve definitely been taking it easy this week with very early morning runs and lots of lounging under the oak tree for the rest of the day. ❤️ 🐶 🌳
