First aid charity St John Ambulance needs volunteers to support the next generation of lifesavers in the Chippenham and Corsham area.
Youth managers and leaders are needed for Cadet (age 10 to 18) and Badger (age five to 10) units in the two towns.
Dave Christophers, youth manager for the charity in the South West, said: “We would like people interested in working with our young volunteers to help them learn first aid and other new skills, from photography to cooking and map reading.
“We provide training in life-saving techniques that can be passed on to the next generation of first aiders and there is also the opportunity to study for qualifications in youth work. Teaching children and teenagers equips them to be the difference between a life lost and a life saved.”
He said volunteering would not require a great deal of time; one evening a week would make a difference.
