Forthcoming Training & Courses
Moving and Assisting– Training Sessions – 2008
Courtesy of the National Lottery, the Branch has secured funding to allow us to promote training sessions in moving and assisting for the disabled and their carers. We plan a series of sessions during 2008 in partnership with other voluntary organisations and charities involved in neurological disability – for example – Parkinson's, Motor Neurone, Huntington's etc.
The three hour programme will include the legislative background, risk assessment, back care and, importantly, practical instruction and tips for the disabled and their carers. The course has been commissioned from Options for Independence, British Red Cross, an accredited training body, and will be held at their designated training premises at Red Cross House – Options for Independence – Tarryholme Drive, Irvine.
The course is FREE with help towards travel available.
Sessions commence at 1.30 pm with a 4.30 pm finish and proved to be a very interesting and informative afternoon where those attending learned some handy tips and saw some useful mobility aids and gadgets.
Please register your interest if you would like to attend a future course and we will ensure you will be accommodated subsequently.
Next courses: Tuesday 13th May, Tuesday 3rd June and Tuesday 17th June.
