Join Today!
If you would like to give back to your community and help those in need, consider joining our Red Cross family today. There are many ways a volunteer can provide aid so if you don’t see yourself as a medical first responder, don’t fret! We have members who give their time to spread the word of the Red Cross and help increase the size of our organisation. We have members who love to drive and so prefer to give their time transporting low-risk patients between care facilities or to appointments. When the likes of a global pandemic hits or our country needs to welcome in refugees, we are glad to have our community support team ready to go!
So if you would like to give back, start by reaching out and we’ll find a way for you to help.
Our responders climb the clinical ladder by learning new skills from First Aid Responder to Cardiac First Responder and Emergency First Responder, and finally Emergency Medical Technician.
We train members to later instruct others through a series of instructor courses. If you see yourself as a teacher or have a degree in education, we may just have a role for you!
We have several first aid courses ongoing between September and May covering Adult and Youth groups.
