We’ve concluded our 2025 year of events, and what a year of events its been!!
We’ve been out and about at a number of public engagements and met a fair number of people from the valley while we were at it.
At the time of writing we trained 999 people in the valley on No Fear CPR/AED. We think thats a rather fitting number!
We really love interacting with you, and sharing life saving skills while we are at it.
There will be more to come from us in 2026, so please do come back here in January or February and see what we have planned, what we are up to (and where) in the new year!!
All our CFR’s are all really excited and counting the number of sleeps before Christmas – more importantly we are counting down the time until Santa comes through the Rossendale Valley, he’s given NWAS operations room a rough idea when he’ll be in the valley to deliver the presents for good boys and girls (we’ve also been using the Google Santa Tracker HERE). So we’ll be here to make sure he gets through safely! But he did say to us that all boys and girls will HAVE to be asleep!!

No Fear CPR/AED Sessions
We believe that everyone should have access to good first aid training sessions, and that’s why we have teamed up with our sister organisation Community Defibs for Rossendale (CDfR) to provide training in the Rossendale Valley.
