FREE British Red cross Workshops

My name is Kirsty and I am the Community Education Coordinator for the British Red Cross in Birmingham and its surrounding areas. My role is to deliver free humanitarian workshops for groups in this area, which are all supported by a wealth of free, online resources for both adults and young people to access when needed. Our workshops take place at your location and we are able to deliver to groups with up to 35 participants for youth workshops and between 5 and 15 participants for adult workshops.

In the last year, Community Education helped to educate tens of thousands of learners from primary age to pensioners across the UK, in addition to many more through an array of successful digital and face to face educational products. The fully funded workshops prove very popular nationwide and are hugely beneficial to the local community, especially in the face of current challenges brought about by the pandemic, the conflicts around the world and rising cost of living.

Here’s a list of the workshops we have available:

Youth First aid (10-19 years)
Youth Coping with challenges (10-19 years)
Youth Empathy plus Migration (10-19 years)
Adult First aid (over 19 years)
Adult Supporting Connections (over 19 years)
Adult Adapt and Recover (over 19 years)

All of our children and youth workshops are for children in year 6 and upwards.
