Volunteer Centre;

This training is delivered over two evenings and you MUST attend both. It is also recommended that Designated Officers have taken a Child Protection course in the past 3 years.

The 2hr workshop covers everything from Bleeding, Burns, Broken Bones, Seizures, Responsive, Unresponsive and Defib (and any others the groups want). The motto of their first aid is – easy to learn, easy to recall. It is First Aid made simple to build your confidence and take the fear away.

To celebrate Shelter NI’s 40th anniversary this year, we are hosting an online panel discussion with the Imagine Belfast Festival of Politics and Ideas on common misconceptions of homelessness, what issues homeless organisations are facing during this time, how they are planning to continue to provide support for homeless people, and most importantly – what you can do to help! Speaking at the event will be a panel of experienced professionals, from managers of homeless support networks in the UK to those working on the frontlines. If you’d like to find out more, there will be a chance to submit questions at the end in an interactive live format.
