As we reach the middle of volunteers week, we say a huge thank you to all our members. Whether they are young people wishing to gain experience before entering careers within the NHS or older members who have retired but still want to give something back to the local community. Chorley's Angels not only provide first aid cover at events, they also train life-saving skills in Schools and Colleges, to Scouts and Brownies, even to the Women's Institute and the U3A. A huge shout out to all our volunteers, you are true Angels!

The Angels were honored when on the 3rd March, they were named as the latest organisation to benefit from the hugely popular Chorley Got Soul party nights. Attendees to the event, which was organised by Chorley Councillor Margaret Lees, was attended by over 200 people, partied on down the great classics of Soul, Mowtown and Funk. over £1800 was raised by the generous donations of the party goers, and these well appreciated funds will go towards furthering our services to the community.

The Angels were invited to participate in Cardinal Newman College's Open Day in November to demonstrate essential First Aid and life saving skills to students. By the end of the day, dozens of students were given the opportunity to learn and practice key skills that could be used in everyday situations, and beyond. The team, compromising of both young and old Angel's alike, including current Newman students, delivered a program that was both entertaining, but also focused and interactive to all students who attended. Feedback from the successful event also included: Useful and hands-on, young, relatable teachers. Good - fun quiz at the end. Active participation. Confident, informative, helpful. Well-lead, well informed trainers, good refresher for those who have done it before. Very informative, useful / practical, inspiring Year 13 students delivered.
