About us and what we do
How our workplace training courses make a difference
Our first aid training supports the British Red Cross' aim to save lives, prevent and reduce suffering and increase the wellbeing and resilience of people in the UK and across the world.
All operating surplus from our training goes into the British Red Cross' Charity Fund, which is used in many different ways to create the greatest possible impact for people in crisis – whoever and wherever they are.
