ReadyPEC is offering practical, hands-on First Aid, CPR and AED (automated external defibrillator) sessions for adults aged 60+.

The first two sessions filled quickly! A third session has just opened on December 2 in Wellington – early registration is encouraged.  

Led by certified instructor Mike Bond, the small-group sessions are adapted for older adults, including those who may have mobility challenges. With up to 12 participants per session, there is plenty of opportunity to ask questions, practise skills and build confidence responding in an emergency.

This is not a certification course—it’s designed to give you the confidence and skills to respond until emergency services arrive.

In addition to First Aid and CPR, participants will receive practical tips on household emergency preparedness, including simple ways to be ready for power outages, severe weather, and other emergencies.

Thanks to funding from Community Safety & Well-being Action Team, the cost has been heavily subsidized. A $10 registration fee will be required to reserve your place and help ensure full attendance.

Whether you live alone, with a partner, or simply want to be better prepared to help a family member, friend, or neighbour, this is an excellent opportunity to gain practical skills that could make a real difference.
