St John Ambulance’s Save a Life September first aid drive is coming to the Westgate Shopping Centre today.

The event will give shoppers the chance to learn vital first aid skills for free. The annual initiative makes its way around the country providing demonstrations of skills that could be the difference between life and death.

Recent research carried out by the charity showed that 97 per cent of people consider it important to learn first aid but just 10 per cent of people have taken steps to learn first aid in the three years. The free advice and tips will be available between 10am and 3pm.
