FIRST AID FOR SPORTS CLUBS
Midlothian Community Sports Hubs are running a First Aid Course for Sports Clubs and
Coaches. The course is being run by Randori Social Enterprises on the 3rd and 10th October
5.45pm to 9pm at Newbattle Community Campus.
The Council is no longer able to offer free courses for clubs, as the staff member who delivered
the courses has left. Instead we are able to offer a subsidy of 50% of the cost of the course,
refunded on attendance. To register for the course please sign in using the link below. This link
has all the information on the course. https://randoritrainingservices.com/course-booking.html
