The Adult Education team works with organisations and community groups in Greater Manchester who support people that are facing higher risks of needing first aid in particular crises, including:

>     People living with issues around drug and alcohol usage.

>     People who are homeless or rough sleepers and at risk of injury or sudden illness

>     Adults over 65 who are at more risk of slips, trips and falls.

Our sessions have had all of the technical/clinical language removed to ensure that it is easy to learn and therefore easy to remember in an emergency situation. Each session is designed to meet learners’ needs and is tailored to the environment the learner will be in.

What can you expect from our first aid session?

>     Effective, easy to learn first aid education in a relaxed and informal style.

>     Fully funded – there is no cost to you.

>     Provide relevant first aid skills tailored to the needs of the group.

>     Break down the barriers to helping others.

>     Build the confidence and willingness to help in a first aid emergency.

>     Typically last 2 hours, but flexible depending on number of skills taught.

>     Suitable for groups of up to 15 people.

>     Participants will receive a pack that covers the skills learned and will be awarded a certificate of learning upon completion.

>     Delivered at your venue.

To book a session for your group please complete the attached enquiry form and we will look to confirm a date.

The last page lists the skills, and I would like you to discuss the skills list with the group and choose a selection of 2 – 5 skills prior to the training.

OPEN VOICE Community Choir (South Manchester)

Open Voice is an friendly open choir of about 50 members. We sing songs from all over the world in a’capella harmony. Occasional gigs but no pressure to perform.

We sing at Community events, charities, for causes and in protest.

  • Whether you are a seasoned singer or you only sing in the bath
  • Sing in harmony  songs from all over the world -African, Eastern European.  Songs of protest, freedom, songs to uplift.
  • Relax, unwind & let it all hang out, in a friendly, warm, fun atmosphere.

WHEN?    Wednesday eves at 7:30 -9pm, term time. Term starts back on Sept 7th ’16 but you can drop in any term week

COST?     Pay per half term (cheaper) or can just drop in any evening for £5. Concessions too.

We sing at Community events, charities, for causes and in protest.

Any money we get for paid gigs goes to Duncan Gibbon’s charities –  A street shelter for children in San Luis, Argentina and the World Land Trust, specifically to save rainforest in Argentina.  Duncan Gibbon was my son’s best friend -a fabulous young man of extraordinary kindness, confidence and charisma, who died in an accident over the 2010 Xmas period  aged 21. These causes are all close to his heart.
