Teaching First Aid to Century Composites, Washington

Thrills and Skills for Life recently conducted an Emergency First Aid at Work course for Century Plastics from Washington.  Here are the comments from the CEO Vicky Chilcott:

Hello Chris

I just wanted to say a big thanks from everyone at Century Plastics for the First Aid course you ran last week.  Ros, Dave and Michael all really enjoyed it, and thought you were a far better teacher (and more entertaining) than any other providers we have used.

We will definitely be recommending you to anyone else who needs a first aid course!

Very best wishes and once again, many thanks

Vicky

Risk assesing and route finding for the NHS in Durham

Recently Thrills and Skills for Life have been  carrying out route finding and risk assessing in Bishop Auckland for the County Durham and Darlington Foundation Trust.  We travelled over a hundred miles and provided the NHS with 9 cycle routes for their clubs to use.

A highlight of the route finding was finding a route which passed the Bishop of Durham's residence at Bishop Auckland.

Wellfield School Bushcraft

Well field  school from Ferryhill, County Durham recently took up the opportunity to take part in a days Bushcraft at the Thrills and Skills for Life Forest.  The children enjoyed learning how to make shelters out of natural forest materials and had a competition to see who could make the best one.


They learnt how to make a fire from scratch and watched as squirrels and rabbits were stripped and prepared for roasting.  Some of the children even joined in with the gutting of the animals!


The children made spit roasts for the rabbit or squirrel to be roasted on.

Sedgefield Cycle Group

The Sun is shining in Sedgefield and the group were out in force to cycle this Thursday.  Two groups went cycling a more advanced group and an intermediate group.


English Nature and Durham County Council Planners have finally finally processed and given permission for the container to be placed at Hardwick Park.  So in the next week or two a container will be placed there and Sedgefield cycle group will get its supply of brand new bikes and a whole new variety of ride options will be open to them!

The Intermediate group cycling to Bishop Middleham
