British Red Cross Reviews 

Thanks British red Cross wakefield.

Great course with a terrific course leader. Neave was terrific

Today I attended a First Aid in the Workplace Course @ Abingdon, Oxfordshire and the Tutor (Peter) was absolutely brilliant. Thank You.

Done my first aid at work 3 days course in Moorgate.
While it wasn’t the first time when I have attended this course I must say Leigh Turner our trainer was brilliant, joyful and knowledgeable!
Instead of keeping us on our chairs listening to her, the class joined together in specific activities making us feel part of the course, being always active and happy.
Good fun, met nice people, felt good and left the course with a lot of confidence!
Keep up the good work Leigh and really nice meeting you and the students! 🤪

After seeing their ad on Facebook. People were taking the mick out of people who couldn’t afford more than £2! And British Red Cross was reacting with laughing faces??!!? Very professional. Was going to donate until I saw that. Lost out on a good donation. Pathetic. Also they couldn’t answer questions about where peoples money was going???? So it will line the managers pockets and probably 5% will go to people in need. Again pathetic!!!!

On the Red Cross website it says this: Your donation could help someone affected get:

food
water
first aid
medicines
warm clothes
shelter

COULD????? Why could????? So another words it won’t. Shameful. Don’t give to this charity.

I attended a one day course delivered in Billericay Essex. Fantastic and informative training delivered by a great trainer called Tonty. I left feeling much more confident and equipped to deliver first aid should I ever need to.

Excellent 👌💎👌 Sam woman British born beautiful white complexion bought twice for me 30 £ , groceries and sanitary pads shampoo tooth pastes .thanks

Sarah was brilliant 👏 One of the best first aid courses I've been to over the years

The first aid training course taken by Fran at Exeter BRC HQ was excellent. Thank you

Went to British Red Cross charity shop in Upton, Wirral today for the first time. The staff are so lovely and friendly. The manager and volunteers went out of their way to help people. Amazing shop with great bargains and nicest staff I’ve ever met! Will definitely visit again soon.

The Mitcham Branch - is a fantastic place to shop. All of the staff are very friendly and courteous. Thank you

Brilliant service from a Brilliant manager (Cheryl Whittingham) and her fantastic team of volunteers. Excellent Customer Service every time our family go in, (to drop off or buy items) Keep up your great work, which is vital and much appreciated 👍

Fantastic emergency first aid at work course - Debbie gave us the confidence to know we could step in and be effective in an emergency

The training I received from Debbie at Chichester was great and informative and has given me a great life skill

Emergency First Aid Course at work - Venue: South Wiltshire and Salisbury Golf Course on 7th October 2021 with Sarah and Rebecca - fabulous course and so very informative

My trainer Sam Smith was excellent, he was so informative and made the training not feel very long at all. Keeping me entertained while learning really valuable skills. His attitude and energy made me feel really confident in case of an emergency, the same time learning so much.

I recently attended (19th July) a First Aid course at the Jury’s - Watford with the best trainer called Donna Cabral.

I’ve attended this course before and was apprehensive when I knew I had to do it again. I must say Donna makes you feel very comfortable, her training technique is second to none & I cannot recommend her enough. I feel workers like deserve to get recognised & rewarded as they don’t come by easy! Thank you again!

Hi all,
I have recently finished my First Aid Course and was so lucky to have one of the best instructor (Fred)

I would really recommend him !!! The course was very enjoyable and he engaged so well with everyone in the room, making sure everyone's learning needs were met, everyone felt comfortable, adding personal stories to make us understand better.
Gives you in belief and much motivation to intervene in any situation.
I feel 100% more confident as a first helper and could recommend him for all of you. Thank you Fred !!!

While carrying out my course Sam Smith in the Woking training centre trained us on choking later that evening my daughter had was chewing bubble gum and started choking and with my training I received earlier that day I was fully able to help her I can only but say Thank you as doing this course gave me the knowledge of what to do Sam did an excellent explaining on steps to carry out and helped me help my daughter from choking on chewing gum

I'm really disappointed with how the BRC use donations, mine included. An unhappy ex volunteer showed me online info.
The CEO is paid higher than average, donations for BRC community work gets moved to immigration and oversees projects 'as required'. This includes fundraising adverts for oversees. If I wanted to donate overseas I would have donated to the International Red Cross again.
They use the word "emergancy" for community food drop offs in Covid as though noone else did this. They don't have First Aiders or youth groups now - yet profess to teach the skills. Albeit my last course was excellent, they had no real life experience. BRC appears more like IRC doing adverts and minor projects in UK using costly training to fund a very expensive CEO and TV adverts for oversees projects.

Simply one of the best first aid courses!
I just attended a 3 day first aid at work course by Mo (Moushumi) at their Moorgate base, and really it was such an excellent course. I must say Mo the instructor was brilliant . She made the course very enjoyable and she engaged so well with the everyone in the room, making sure everyone's learning needs were met, everyone felt comfortable, adding personal stories to make us understand better, adding humour and at the same time ensuring we all understood the key principles. You can tell she genuinely cares about our learning and loves her job, she should she is excellent at it. I believe the way she involved everyone in the practical and theory elements of the course and the way she set up various first aid scenarios really helped everyone, not only grasp the knowledge but feel completely at ease. I feel 100% more confident as a first aider and couldn't recommend her enough. Thank you Mo!
