Alton Cycling Club had ten members trained in first aid by Cardiac Rehab thanks to grants from East Hampshire district councillors Suzie Burns and Richard Platt.

One of them, Becci May, said: “It feels good to now have first aiders in each of our club, medium and fast groups – you never know when the knowledge we gained through this course may be needed.”

Dave Telford, the club’s general secretary, added: “We’d like to thank Cllr Burns and Cllr Platt, as well as the council, for the grants, which have provided a critical benefit to club members.”
