Great news from Schools First Aid Training Service CIC receiving funding from CO-OP Community Funding and Aberdeen City Council's UDECIDE meaning more schools get supported 👏

🎉 We’ve got some AMAZING news to share! 🎉

We’re absolutely thrilled to announce that we’ve been awarded funding from not one, but TWO fantastic sources! 🙌

💙 First up – CO-OP Community Funding!
We were chosen by two CO-OP stores and CO-OP Funeral Services as their selected CIC, and thanks to all your votes, we’ve secured enough funding to support Skene Square Primary, Gilcomstoun Primary, and St Joseph’s Primary! 💪

💛 Next – Aberdeen City Council’s UDECIDE South and Central!
This funding means we can bring our work to even more schools across Torry, Kincorth, and Riverbank Primary. We’ve already kicked things off at Abbotswell Primary, where the kids absolutely smashed it — and even told us how much they loved the session! 🌟

A huge THANK YOU to everyone who voted, supported, and believed in what we do. Together, we’re making a difference in even more schools across our community! 💫

🚨 World Stroke Day is here, and it's time to take action! 🚨 Did you know that strokes are a leading cause of death and disability worldwide? That's why we're committed to educating our attendees on our first aid training courses. Together, we can prevent strokes and save lives.

Understanding the signs of a stroke is crucial: look for sudden numbness, confusion, trouble speaking, or severe headaches. Reducing risk factors like high blood pressure and maintaining a healthy lifestyle can make a significant difference. But knowledge is only powerful when we act on it!

Join us in spreading awareness and learning how to respond effectively when every second counts. Let's equip ourselves with the skills to make an impact, get in touch to book your training or if you have any questions 💪

Hope you’re all having a great weekend folks! 🌍 Today is World Meningitis Day, a crucial reminder of the serious threat posed by this disease. Meningitis causes inflammation of the membranes surrounding the brain and spinal cord, and its impacts can be devastating. Early diagnosis and treatment are key to saving lives and reducing long-term disabilities.

Our first aid training includes essential information on how to recognise the early symptoms of meningitis and respond effectively. By spreading awareness and educating ourselves, we join global efforts to defeat meningitis by 2030.

Get in touch if you have any concerns about meningitis, we’re always happy to help and advise and our training is available should you wish to find out more.

Have a lovely day everyone, from all of us here at GTS

Our early morning flight to Shetland last week to provide first aid cover at the Cunningsburgh Show - it's the largest agricultural show on the Islands and really is well worth a visit. Thank you for choosing GTS, and to everyone involved who made us feel so welcome 🙏
