1st Redditch Scouts Group are a local scouting group based in Redditch, Worcestershire, dedicated to providing adventurous and educational opportunities for young people. They offer a variety of activities, from outdoor challenges to community service, fostering personal growth and teamwork in a supportive environment.
The Prime Foundation were able to fund a training defibrillator and choking vest for use in emergency aid training. Not only has this helped the group who applied, but the equipment is being shared with five other district Scout groups.
“We have really benefitted from the equipment this grant allowed us to purchase. We have been able to show our Scouts that there's nothing to be afraid of when using a defibrillator so that they know, should the need arise, they could help someone. The choke vest trainer was great fun but provided the Scouts will real life experience on how to save a life if someone was choking that our explaining in words previously could never have achieved. Thank you!”
