Residents can learn to be a lifesaver as a programme of crucial dates has been confirmed by a Farnham group.

Heartstart Farnham Lions will hold their first Heartstart course of their autumn-winter schedule at the Ball & Wicket at Holt Pound on Wednesday, September 11.

Participants will learn how to act in a medical emergency by getting the skills and confidence to become a genuine lifesaver.

The sessions begin at 7pm upstairs at the Farnham Road pub and tend to last around two hours or slightly more.

Further courses will take place at the venue from the same time on September 25, October 9 and 23, November 6 and 20 and December 4 and 18.

The course is free but donations are welcome, online booking forms can be downloaded from www.heartstartfarnhamlions.co.uk or call Jo on 07793 273941 for more details.

Don’t be a bystander – learn how to save a life.
