Burntisland First Aid Services Trust move into first-ever premises
Created: 19/11/2024Burntisland First Aid Services Trust recently moved into the town's former police station on the High Street - the charity's first-ever premises.
The charity, which was set up in 2004, has been providing training courses at hired venues across the local area but they now have a dedicated space to teach people first aid skills.
As well as training, the team of volunteers provide first aid cover at events such as motor racing, equestrian events, student balls, and community events.
The Trust is run by volunteers who are trained to a basic standard of first aid, but most have gone on to develop their skills further. Their own ambulance enables them to provide a comprehensive and first response at major events.
Their new premises includes a training room which can host up to 12 people, as well as a welcome area, kitchen, meeting rooms, and storage space.
