Hope for life is what Millie’s Trust can give us all. It was a Trust set up out of a nursery tragedy.
Millie's Trust was created by the parents of Millie Thompson who tragically passed away in a choking incident in October 2012.
"As parents of a child ourselves we believe that everyone should have access to First Aid Training no matter what their situation in life is. We aim to make First Aid training readily available for minimal costs and in as many places as possible."
Joanne and Dan Thompson
It is this statement that sums up Millie’s Trust that came into first contact with in May of this year. Dan and Joanne, and I have been lucky to have met and been taught by them both, set up the Trust after the tragic death of their daughter due to a choking incident and sadly a lack of first aid knowledge.
The courses that the Trust provide are excellent, in terms of topic and content, application, and delivery by the team who speak with a passion and knowledge of saving lives.
We are very passionate about teaching our First Aid courses as we want to make sure that if anyone who has been trained on one of our courses is ever in a situation where they need to administer any type of First Aid, that they have confidence to be able to deal with the patient - no matter what the situation" Joanne May 2014
And this is hope. There is hope for life, any life, but knowledge is power, and it is important that more people acquire this knowledge. We are all guilty of relying to much on 999 and the emergency services. But then why would we do otherwise, this is how we are trained. But in that time when the professionals are on their way, we own that time and with courage can do something, and that something can be to save a life by keeping someone alive. Do something special when you read this, and sign up for one of the first aid courses.
