Headteacher, Manny Botwe, said: “We signed up for the programme after seeing an article in the Macclesfield Express. We want to thank everyone at Millie’s Trust for giving us the opportunity to take part in the programme. We also want to thank Bollington Insurance Brokers who provided funding for Millie’s Trust to provide free first aid training for children in the town. Thank you to Joanne and Dan Thompson for setting up such an inspirational programme. Thank you so much.”
Amy Shore in Year 8 said: “I found the Millie’s Trust First Aid tutorial very helpful as it made me a lot more confident in helping someone who was choking. The experience was something that I was very lucky to have because I know many people don’t have this type of opportunity. I would recommend doing this because it’s an amazing thing to know. Thank you for the great morning of learning new things.”
