Warlingham RFC is strengthening its commitment to player welfare and community safety with two upcoming first aid training opportunities for adults and children.

Emergency First Aid at Work – Sign Up Now

Our Safeguarding Officer, Helen Hammond, is pleased to confirm a new Emergency First Aid at Work course taking place at the club on Saturday 10th January 2026, from 09:00–16:00.

This training provides nationally recognised first aid certification — an invaluable qualification for parents, coaches and team volunteers supporting our Minis, Juniors, Colts and Seniors and is the RFU’s minimum first aid requirement for pitchside first aid.

Date: Saturday 10th January 2026
Time: 09:00–16:00
Spaces: Limited to 12 (first come, first served)

Children’s First Aid Course – Expressions of Interest

In addition to the above, we are exploring plans to introduce basic lifesaving skills training for our Minis and Juniors (ages 7–16). This would be a 4-hour introductory course, giving young players the confidence to help in emergencies and providing each participant with a certificate of attendance.

This idea was sparked by a brilliant parent suggestion, and we are currently finalising details with a course provider, including potential funding options (please note: funding is not guaranteed).

Families interested in this opportunity are invited to register their interest here:

Provisional dates are being planned for early 2026, with full details to follow as soon as they are confirmed.

Thank you to everyone supporting these initiatives — together we’re helping make our club a safer, more confident community.
